About Kristina Marchese

Trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, and PTSD often begin as a single event but can ripple outward, affecting a person’s sense of control, self worth, and confidence. What may initially feel like a small incident can gradually intensify into intrusive thoughts, sudden waves of anger, persistent sadness, or overwhelming guilt. These reactions can include flashbacks and physical symptoms that interfere with relationships, school, work, or finances.

Kristina Marchese approaches this pattern as something that can be understood and managed rather than a fixed fate. She emphasizes the courage required to examine painful experiences, identify the source of distress, and reclaim the areas of life that trauma has affected. Her work is focused on helping people access their own inner resources, strengthen intuition, and reconnect with their authentic voice.

As a therapist who specializes in trauma, Kristina prioritizes building a respectful, steady therapeutic relationship that allows for gradual recovery and renewed balance. She guides people through the process of facing difficult emotions and making choices that support resilience, stability, and a greater sense of personal agency.

Could Online Therapy Suit Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, online therapy is widely used and can offer outcomes similar to traditional in-person care for many individuals.

One clear advantage of remote sessions is flexibility. People can connect in the way that best fits their routines and comfort level - by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to keep appointments and maintain consistency in treatment.

Licensed professionals provide care through these options, and if a different therapeutic approach or provider would be a better fit, it is typically possible to make a change. For those balancing work, family, or mobility limitations, online therapy can be a practical path to accessing professional support and making steady progress toward personal goals.
