Kristen Wojtuniak, LCSW

Kristen Wojtuniak is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with eight years of professional experience. She works with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, communication difficulties, obsessive-compulsive disorders, body dysmorphia, low self-esteem, eating disorders, and chronic illness. Kristen brings warmth, compassion, and a touch of humor to the therapeutic relationship to help people feel at ease and engaged in the work.

She specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical approach that supports stress reduction and helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns so they can take an active role in their care and develop healthier coping strategies. Kristen often incorporates positive mantras and reframed thinking to encourage a more supportive daily mindset that supports productivity and goal achievement.

Her passion is helping people feel understood and supported while guiding them toward a more satisfying life. She pays attention to small shifts that lead to meaningful change and highlights strengths clients may not notice. In sessions she offers a non-judgmental, supportive environment for feedback and practical skill building.

Therapy with Kristen emphasizes exploration, experimentation, and vulnerability. Clients work on building self-compassion and mindfulness, increasing tolerance for uncertainty, and learning to observe uncomfortable feelings and body sensations without avoidance. The work includes identifying and challenging core negative beliefs, asserting boundaries, clarifying wants and needs, and examining how shame or guilt may contribute to unhelpful patterns.

Her availability is tailored to stay-at-home parents, college students, and people who work from home or who can use a lunch break. Kristen looks forward to meeting and collaborating with individuals ready to begin this journey.
