Getting to know Kristina Carrera

You’re exhausted from shifting shapes, overthinking every interaction, and holding everything together while feeling secretly disconnected inside. If you spend your life walking on eggshells, struggling to say "no," or losing yourself in your relationships to keep the peace, you are not broken—you are operating in survival mode. I’m Kristina Carrera, LCSW, LAC, DVCS, and I specialize in helping high-functioning adults break free from relationship anxiety, boundary guilt, and burnout. My practice is designed for the person who overgives, overthinks, and worries that honoring their own needs will push others away. Together, we go beyond surface-level coping strategies to heal root attachment patterns and build unwavering self-confidence. You can learn more about my practice philosophy and specialization on my online bio. When you're ready to stop erasing yourself and step into a safe harbor, select an available time below to get started.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me means entering a space where you never have to apologize for having needs. Here is what makes our work unique: 1. We don't just analyze your past; we build actionable, real-world tools so you can set boundaries without guilt and quiet relationship panic in real time. 2. Whether we meet in my Pueblo office or online across Colorado, you get a grounded, compassionate space to unpack people-pleasing and perfectionism at your own pace. 3. You will learn how to trust your own judgment, communicate assertively, and build connections where you feel truly seen and valued.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Healing relationship anxiety and breaking people-pleasing patterns isn't about "fixing" you—it's about learning how to feel safe in your own skin. Here is how we navigate that transformation together: Phase 1: Finding Your Baseline We evaluate what is driving your relational panic, overthinking, or burnout right now, providing immediate grounding techniques so you can catch your breath. Phase 2: Rewiring the Pattern We get to the root of why you overgive or struggle with boundaries. Together, we practice concrete, real-time strategies to stop walking on eggshells and communicate your needs without guilt. Phase 3: Anchoring Your Worth You integrate these tools into your daily life and relationships, stepping out of survival mode and into deep self-trust and relational peace.
