About Remmawii
Remmawii (Karuna) Kristjanson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Georgia with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, communication struggles, and questions about life purpose.
Remmawii draws on a mix of conversational and body-focused techniques. She uses talking, breathwork, guided meditation, and journaling to help people notice how feelings show up in the body. She also integrates yoga and somatic practices to reduce physical tension that can keep emotions stuck.
Her approach blends several therapy methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She uses these frameworks to work on patterns such as control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and workplace stress. Sessions are intended to be practical and grounded, focused on what feels manageable next.
Remmawii has lived and worked across multiple countries and brings an awareness of cross-cultural dynamics to sessions. She supports people exploring spirituality as part of recovery from addiction and as a way to reconnect with family and self. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that adapts over time.
For people who feel stuck after a job, relationship, or health change, she offers steady, concrete methods to notice habits and try new ways of responding. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Remmawii uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take small, value-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT focuses on noticing what matters and choosing actions that align with those priorities. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at relationship patterns that formed early in life and how they affect present connections and trust. This approach helps people identify repeating interaction styles and try different responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively which methods fit current goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change and as different techniques feel more helpful.
The therapist's original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. They also make it possible to continue work with a therapist across geographic moves. Practical considerations such as camera use, session length, and whether to include guided breathwork or journaling in-session are discussed and agreed on during scheduling so sessions fit into everyday routines.
