About Kristina
Kristina Dygulski is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 12 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and anger. She uses clear, practical methods to help people manage strong emotions and life changes.
Kristina favors a calm, steady approach in sessions. She invites clients to pause and notice breathing as a first step. Conversations focus on what is happening now, how past experiences affect current behavior, and small changes that reduce overwhelm. Sessions mix talking, skill practice, and short experiments to test what helps.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape reactions today. Client-centered and mindfulness practices help people slow down and notice patterns without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternatives that ease anger and anxiety.
Kristina also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing supports change when people feel stuck, especially around substance use and other addictive behaviors. The work looks at triggers, impulses, and patterns such as codependency or family-of-origin issues.
She helps clients build skills for managing impulsivity, panic, low self-esteem, and shame. Practical steps include breathing, grounding, thought records, and short behavioral experiments. Clients are encouraged to set small, achievable goals and track what changes over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kristina uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape reactions, helping clients spot patterns that fuel anger. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing alternative responses to reduce reactivity.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to help people slow down and notice bodily cues before they act. Those approaches involve reflection, guided breathing, and brief in-session exercises to practice new responses to triggers.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily routine. That choice can change as progress is made, and sessions may mix techniques to address emotion regulation, impulse control, and relationships.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Kristina uses the same skill-building focus online as in person, with guided exercises, homework between sessions, and practical tools to try in everyday situations.
