Kristine Krisko, LISW-S
Specializes In:
Kristine Krisko, LISW, helps teens, adults, and older adults across Ohio manage complex mental health challenges with a steady, compassionate, and clinically grounded approach. She works closely with clients to improve emotional regulation, reduce distressing symptoms, and build practical coping strategies that support long-term stability and well-being. Kristine creates a respectful, supportive environment where individuals feel understood and empowered to make meaningful progress.
Kristine specializes in anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, and has extensive experience supporting individuals with a wide range of additional concerns, including bipolar disorder, sleep disturbances, and health-related stressors. She provides individual therapy using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, while offering additional therapeutic strategies tailored to each person’s goals and circumstances. Her work is informed by years of experience helping clients navigate both acute and ongoing mental health needs.
Kristine is particularly dedicated to supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from psychiatric hospitalization and those participating in court-ordered treatment. She focuses on helping clients reestablish stability, strengthen daily functioning, and successfully transition into their communities with confidence and support.
Her clinical background includes working with diverse populations, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals connected to foster and adoptive systems, and military veterans. She approaches care with cultural awareness and a commitment to creating an inclusive, affirming therapeutic space.
Outside of her clinical work, Kristine enjoys spending time with animals, listening to music, watching movies, and being with her family. These personal interests help her stay grounded and bring a sense of balance to her life and work.
