Kristina Virro

When people finally reach out to Kristina Virro, they often describe the same experience: life looks fine from the outside, but something feels off — a low-grade heaviness, a habit of second-guessing, a sense of going through the motions without knowing why. That moment of quiet recognition is exactly where her work begins.

Kristina is a Registered Psychotherapist based in Markham, Ontario, working with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, stress, self-esteem, life transitions, and infertility. She brings the same directness to couples work that she does to individual sessions — including the small but loaded conflicts that unfold over a thread of texts rather than face to face, where tone gets lost and misreads pile up. She does not treat personality disorders or provide crisis support.

Her approach goes beyond empathy and validation. She asks harder questions, introduces practical skills, and works collaboratively toward a point where clients no longer need her. Drawing on CBT, IFS, DBT, ACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method, among others, Kristina also works as a content creator and has been featured in outlets including BuzzFeed and the New York Post. Her reputation: candid and clear, without sacrificing warmth.
