About Kristin

Kristin Esposita-Ublacker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with the NY LCSW-R and the MA LICSW and has 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and related mood concerns. Kristin also lists work with family issues, communication problems, fertility concerns, and isolation. She offers sessions in English and practices from New York.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Kristin listens first, then helps people name the change they want. She and the person set simple, reachable goals and check progress along the way. Sessions are conversational and focused on problem solving rather than jargon.

Mindfulness-based methods are part of her approach. She uses moment-to-moment awareness exercises and grounded breathing to reduce stress and anxiety. These tools are taught in short, doable steps so they fit into a busy day of parenting or work.

Kristin draws on long experience with attention differences and mood disorders to help people manage impulsivity, low mood, and the ups and downs of ADHD or bipolar symptoms. She also helps people navigate communication problems and family tensions by breaking issues into smaller, actionable changes.

Her practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time; cost varies with location. To begin, a person selects the online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. Kristin aims to be a steady presence while people make gradual changes in their everyday lives.

How sessions work

How Kristin uses mindfulness online and finding the right fit

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple awareness exercises and short breathing practices. These techniques teach people to notice stress or reactive thoughts without getting swept into them, which can help with anxiety, anger, and daily overwhelm. Kristin introduces these practices in small steps so they are easy to try between parenting duties or work tasks.

She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. In early sessions she will talk with the person about their goals and daily routines, try a few techniques, and then adjust what she uses based on what actually helps. That way the plan reflects the person’s needs and preferences rather than a fixed method.

Practical benefits of working with a licensed clinical social worker online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping continuity when life is hectic. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find shorter, regular check-ins easier to keep than infrequent long appointments, and mindfulness exercises can be assigned as brief daily practices to use between meetings.
