About Kristin

Kristin Esposita-Ublacker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R, LICSW) based in New York. She has 23 years of experience helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and trauma and abuse. She aims to offer a calm, listening presence so people do not feel alone as they work through hard moments.

She focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life. Sessions begin by identifying the change a person wants and setting simple, reachable goals. She talks through options, answers questions, and works alongside clients as they try new ways of coping and problem solving.

Her style is compassionate, respectful, and nonjudgmental. Kristin recognizes that asking for help can feel difficult and that small steps often lead to bigger shifts. She keeps conversations clear and direct so people know what to try between sessions.

Mindfulness-based techniques are part of her approach. She uses breathing, grounding, and present-moment awareness to reduce overwhelm and build focus. These strategies are applied to stress, mood concerns, and everyday triggers.

Kristin has spent more than two decades supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, parenting strain, relationship problems, and mood disorders. She invites clients to set the pace of work and to make changes that feel manageable. To begin, a simple matching process connects people to scheduling and next steps.

How mindfulness and online sessions can fit into daily life

Mindfulness Therapy is a practice that brings attention to the present moment through simple exercises. It often uses breathing, body awareness, and short exercises to lower stress and calm racing thoughts. This approach can help with anxiety, mood swings, and feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day demands.

Kristin blends mindfulness with practical goal-setting. That means she helps people notice what is happening in the moment and then chooses small, concrete steps to try. The choice of techniques and pace is collaborative, so clients and the therapist decide together what feels helpful for each person’s situation.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving by cutting out travel time and allowing quicker check-ins. It also lets people practice mindfulness and coping skills between meetings in the places where they live their daily lives. Kristin will work with each person to find approaches and a rhythm that fit their goals and schedule.
