About me
I am a Licensed clinical Social worker with 6 years of experience working with clients to help navigate through unresolved trauma. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma, sexual abuse, or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-focused rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristel Avilus. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Kristel is very positive in terms of direction and getting you to be honest with yourself and then make the best decision based on psychology.
I worked with Kristel for two months when I was at sad point in my life . I enjoyed how she made me dig dipper to help me to know myself better. She provided worksheets and questions to enhance my quest for a better understanding of me. Kristel’s therapy style is like a friend talking to you . We’ve had laughter and tears along the way and will take away all the valuable gems that she taught me.
Kristel is super understanding and flexible. I highly recommend her!!!!
