Kristina Dugas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, families, and young adults in a range of settings including residential living, schools from elementary through high school, and outpatient care.
She has worked with people navigating grief and loss, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and those within the LGBTQIA community, bringing a client-centered approach that adapts to each person’s current needs.
Kristina uses a mix of therapeutic methods tailored to the individual, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, exposure and response prevention (ERP), and the Triple P Parenting Program to strengthen coping skills and practical strategies.
She focuses on collaborating with clients to build tools that empower them to manage difficulties and to identify and encourage the strengths present in each person or family. She is licensed as a clinical social worker in Pennsylvania (PA LCSW CW022819) and Maine (ME LCSW LC20708).
Many people wonder whether talking with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that works best for them, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access support from different locations.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and if someone wants a different fit they can switch to another provider at any time. Online therapy offers an accessible option for many people seeking practical help for everyday mental health concerns.
