About Kristin
Kristin Esposita-Ublacker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with 23 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar concerns, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, and issues common to young adults. Kristin helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by life changes and by the pressure of new responsibilities.
Her style is straightforward and listener-focused. She talks through what someone wants to change and helps set small, practical goals. Sessions emphasize clear steps and ongoing check-ins rather than abstract theory. Kristin aims to make time in therapy feel manageable for people juggling work, school, or family demands.
Kristin uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice patterns in thoughts and reactions. She teaches ways to recognize stress and to respond rather than react. For mood and anxiety issues, she blends mindful attention with problem-solving strategies to address immediate difficulties and daily routines.
Over more than two decades she has helped people cope with impulsivity, isolation, communication problems, fertility-related stress, and intellectual disability concerns. She also supports clients dealing with autism spectrum questions and women's issues. Her experience includes a wide range of mood disorders and behavioral concerns.
Practical matters are part of the work. Kristin assists people in organizing steps, improving communication, and managing low energy or motivation. She encourages small experiments between sessions and reviews what works. The goal is clearer choices and steadier day-to-day functioning.
Mindfulness-based approaches and remote sessions
Kristin uses mindfulness therapy to help people become more aware of thoughts, emotions, and bodily signals. That approach teaches simple attention exercises and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and to support clearer decision making. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, mood swings, and day-to-day stress by building small habits of noticing and pausing.When relevant, she pairs mindful noticing with goal-oriented steps. This means identifying one or two concrete changes, trying them between sessions, and returning to see what helped. Kristin treats choosing an approach as a shared process; she works with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single technique.

Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and shorter check-ins can fit into a break. Kristin aims to help clients weave therapeutic work into everyday life so progress can continue between meetings.
