About Kristine

Kristine Savoury is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. She focuses on concerns that often touch family life, including stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting challenges, grief, and relationship strain. Kristine also lists ADHD, depression, bipolar, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues among her areas of focus.

Her style is practical and goal-oriented. Sessions look at immediate problems and the next steps someone can try at home. She offers feedback, coping tools, and help prioritizing what matters most when life feels overwhelming.

Kristine’s background includes years in healthcare settings where she supported people facing major medical decisions and chronic illness. That work informs how she approaches caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, and the ripple effects those issues have on family life.

She has substantial experience with substance use concerns and trauma, including sexual, physical, and emotional trauma. Kristine has worked across a wide age range, from teens through people in their 90s, and has assisted people during crises and life transitions.

Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and practical skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior methods. In sessions she aims to clarify goals, suggest concrete steps, and help people manage emotions and relationships that are affecting day-to-day life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and reactions. It can help people understand why they respond to family stress or intimacy difficulties the way they do. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides concrete strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and naming emotions in relationship challenges and can be useful when connecting feelings to behavior in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, emotion processing, or relational patterns as sessions progress.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to schedule around work and family demands, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Online work can also let someone continue therapy while managing caregiving or medical commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to suit day-to-day life and household pressures without changing the therapeutic focus.
