About Krystine
Krystine Garay is a licensed mental health counselor and marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida. She speaks English and Spanish and brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or relationship strain.
Krystine often helps clients who are managing parenting challenges, family conflict, and self-esteem struggles. She also addresses attachment concerns, communication problems, and issues tied to divorce and separation.
How Krystine works
Her background includes work with panic attacks, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and building self-love. Her clinical history includes internships and rotations at pediatric settings where she supported children with co-occurring disorders. In those roles she used mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and dialectical-behavioral techniques to teach coping skills and symptom management.
Those tools are adapted for adults as well as younger clients when relevant. Krystine emphasizes steady progress rather than perfection. She focuses on concrete skills people can use between sessions, like grounding practices and clearer ways to communicate.
The goal is to make daily life easier and reduce the hold of intense emotions. People who choose her often want both practical techniques and a bilingual clinician who understands Hispanic cultural contexts. To begin, she encourages taking the first step and completing the clinic's intake steps to see if the fit feels right.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Krystine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help manage stress and anxiety. Mindfulness work trains attention to the present moment and offers grounding steps for panic or overwhelming emotion. Cognitive-behavioral strategies help people notice thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low self-esteem and then practice alternative, more balanced responses.She has also drawn on dialectical-behavioral techniques in clinical roles to support emotional regulation and coping skills. These techniques teach step-by-step tools for handling intense feelings and improving communication during family or relationship conflict. Together these approaches focus on skills people can try between sessions and refine over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust techniques as progress unfolds. That helps keep treatment practical and relevant.
