Kristine Savoury, LCSW

Kristine Savoury is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, addiction challenges, and life changes. She focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and build clearer personal goals. Kristine aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through feelings and make decisions that fit their lives.

She uses straightforward, solution-focused work while meeting clients where they are. Sessions include support, feedback, and guidance to help people sort through relationships, self-esteem struggles, motivation problems, and career uncertainty. Kristine has experience with trauma, including sexual, physical, and emotional trauma, and with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms.

Her background includes many years in healthcare settings, which shaped her understanding of chronic illness, medical decision making, caregiver stress, and the challenges that come with major health changes. That experience informs how she talks about chronic pain, cancer, aging issues, and caregiving burdens without minimizing practical needs.

Over 14 years in practice and seven years as an LCSW have given her repeated exposure to crisis and transitions. She has supported people across a wide age range and across different life stages. Kristine combines attachment-informed ideas, client-centered listening, and skills-based techniques to help people regain stability.

People can expect straightforward language, achievable goals, and attention to both emotions and daily problem solving. The focus is on helping each person move toward clearer choices and improved day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy highlights how past relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions, helping people notice and change repeated behaviors in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective, giving space to be heard and to make decisions at their own pace, which can help with motivation, self-esteem, and decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, mood changes, sleep problems, and coping with life adjustments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, worries, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which ideas and exercises to try and refine the plan over time based on what’s working.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Kristine's clinical approaches lend themselves to talk-based and skills work that can fit into daily life, such as brief practical check-ins, homework between sessions, and guided problem-solving in real time. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, medical care, or caregiving responsibilities and to use written worksheets or behavioral experiments between meetings.
