Kristina Komori, LMFT

Calm-focused therapy for worry and self-doubt

About Kristina

Kristina Komori is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She works with adults and adolescents and offers telehealth services across California.

Background and approach

Sessions are focused on practical steps that make daily life easier and more manageable. Kristina uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people feel less overwhelmed.

She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills to manage strong emotions. Narrative therapy is used to help people reframe difficult experiences and find a clearer sense of self.

Her style is collaborative. She listens first, then co-creates goals so each session focuses on what matters most to the individual.

Progress is tracked through concrete changes, like reduced worry, better sleep, or improved confidence in stressful moments. Kristina emphasizes sensitivity and respect in sessions.

She adapts her approach to each person’s needs and pace, offering a mix of practical skills and reflective conversation. The result is a tailored plan that feels realistic and doable.

With eight years of clinical experience, she blends hands-on tools with careful listening. People who want clear strategies and steady support during life transitions often find this approach helpful.

Kristina aims to help clients move toward more consistent calm, clearer thinking, and greater self-assurance.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Kristina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for reducing worry and improving daily routines. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills are also part of her work and teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance for moments of high stress. Narrative therapy helps clients reframe their personal stories so they can move forward with clearer goals and self-understanding.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Kristina will talk with each person about their symptoms, goals, and preferences, then recommend techniques to try. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan so sessions stay relevant to real-life concerns.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, homework check-ins, or quick coping reminders between longer sessions, offering flexibility and ongoing contact without extra travel time.
