About Kristin

Kristin Esposita-Ublacker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, holding LCSW-R in New York and LICSW in Massachusetts, with 23 years of practice. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, and life transitions. She also works with concerns tied to relationships, parenting, trauma and abuse, and mood disorders.

Kristin aims to be a steady presence for people who feel alone with their problems. She listens first, then helps identify the specific change a person wants. From there she and the client set clear, achievable goals and practical steps toward those goals.

Her approach uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns of thought and feeling. Those strategies are paired with problem-solving and goal-setting. Sessions often focus on small, concrete habits that reduce reactivity and build better responses to stress.

Kristin respects that asking for help is hard and that change takes time. She answers questions about the issues people bring and works through obstacles one step at a time. The work is practical - breaking down big problems into manageable pieces and tracking progress.

People come to her for help with impulsivity, communication problems, isolation or loneliness, fertility-related stress, and challenges related to autism or intellectual disability. She brings long experience and steady focus to those concerns and to general coping skills for daily life.

How sessions work

Mindfulness-based approaches and online sessions

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily signals without reacting automatically. It can help reduce reactivity, support emotion regulation, and make anger easier to recognize before it escalates.

The therapist pairs noticing skills with clear goal-setting and small behavioral steps. That mix is aimed at slowing down impulsive responses and building new habits that respond differently to stressors. These methods often suit people working on irritability, workplace frustration, or relationship reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin will collaborate with each person to decide whether mindfulness practice, practical problem-solving, or a combination fits best. She reviews goals and adjusts methods as needs and preferences become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm the available session options before booking so you can choose what fits your routine. Online sessions often make it easier to fit therapy around work and family demands, shorten travel time, and support regular check-ins that keep progress moving forward.
