About Ksenia

Ksenia Krasnikov is a licensed marriage and family therapist whose practice centers on practical, evidence-informed work using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside complementary approaches.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical experience in California, she focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, address relationship concerns, build self-esteem, and navigate depression and life transitions. She adapts interventions to each person's situation and goals, combining problem-focused strategies with motivational techniques to support change.

Ksenia also addresses related issues such as caregiver stress, communication difficulties, control and impulsivity challenges, loneliness and social anxiety, questions of life purpose, and women's health topics including pregnancy and childbirth. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space where treatment plans are shaped collaboratively and tailored to individual needs.

Prospective clients are encouraged that taking the first step toward therapy is meaningful, and she supports people through the matching and scheduling process to begin work at a pace that fits their circumstances.

Online approaches grounded in practical strategies

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) useful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors; CBT tends to be concrete and problem-focused, which can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing emphasizes a collaborative conversation about change, helping people explore their own goals and increase readiness for new habits or decisions.

Ksenia approaches online work as a collaborative process, helping clients determine which methods fit their situation and preferences. She will discuss goals and try approaches that match a person's needs, adapting techniques over time so the plan remains relevant and actionable.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging gives practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or circumstances change, while allowing licensed professionals to use structured interventions and conversational tools to support progress.
