About Kristin

Kristin Esposita-Ublacker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than two decades of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood concerns. She aims to be a steady, listening presence when life feels overwhelming. Kristin focuses on practical steps that make days feel more manageable for people coping with parenting strain, relationship pressure, or major life changes.

She frames therapy in simple terms: identify what you want to change, talk through what’s getting in the way, and set small goals you can try between sessions. Kristin describes her style as compassionate, respectful, and nonjudgmental. She acknowledges that asking for help is hard and treats that step as important work.

Her approach draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice their thoughts and emotions without getting swept away by them. Sessions include conversation, gentle guidance, and exercises people can practice at home. Kristin also uses practical strategies for building routine, improving communication, and managing impulsivity or anger.

Kristin holds the LCSW-R credential in New York and the LICSW in Massachusetts. She has worked in clinical settings for over 23 years and brings that experience to each session. Her goal is to help people feel less isolated and more able to manage daily challenges.

People who want clear steps and a warm, steady therapist may find her approach useful. She works with concerns that include intellectual disability among other focus areas, and she meets people where they are in their lives.

Step 3

How mindfulness and therapy work online

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them. In practice this can mean short awareness exercises, guided breathing, or noticing physical cues when anxiety flares. These tools often help with stress, anxiety, impulsivity, and mood regulation.

Kristin pairs mindfulness with practical problem solving. That means talking through current struggles, breaking big problems into small steps, and setting doable goals to try between sessions. The therapist and client decide together which mix of mindfulness and action fits the person's needs and daily life.

Many people find online therapy helps fit care into a busy schedule by reducing travel and making it easier to attend sessions from work or home. If you are considering remote work, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. The therapist will help arrange sessions that match your goals and routine, and will adapt exercises so they can be practiced between meetings to support steady progress.
