About

Cristina Spataro is a New York State licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience working with people in crisis in New York. She has spent nearly two decades supporting clients through some of their most difficult moments and helping them find a path forward.

Through that work she has come to believe that most people have the capacity for change when they truly want it. Life can be complicated, and the choices that feel right are not always clear - decisions and their consequences often leave people questioning themselves.

While she has extensive experience assisting clients when situations become severe, she prefers to offer support earlier so problems do not escalate. She provides help to individuals facing relationship struggles, career decisions, mental anguish, or illness, and aims to help life make sense again for those she sees.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That range of options makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule.
