Miami Florida online therapist providing EMDR therapy

Kristina Ruiz

LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH CLINICIAN

Anxiety & Trauma Therapist in Miami Florida – KMR Therapy

Welcome to KMR Therapy — where heart, healing, and neuroscience unite. I'm a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida, specializing in anxiety treatment, OCD therapy, and trauma-focused care using evidence-based methods like EMDR therapy.

Whether you're:

  • An overwhelmed parent seeking therapy for your child

  • A teen navigating anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or social pressure

  • An adult battling chronic stress, panic attacks, or trauma symptoms

— you’re not alone, and you don’t have to do it alone.

As a licensed online therapist in Florida, I provide virtual therapy for anxiety, OCD, and trauma to clients across Miami and throughout the entire state of Florida, making support accessible no matter where you are.

At KMR Therapy, healing starts with connection. I blend compassionate care with trauma-informed, evidence-based interventions, to help you break free from patterns that keep you stuck.

Using gold-standard treatments such as:

  • ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) for OCD and treatment

  • CBT for OCD, depression, and anxiety-related disorders

  • DBT for emotional dysregulation and skills training

  • EMDR therapy for PTSD, childhood trauma, and patterns keeping you stuck

I tailor each session to support your unique journey.

It takes courage to reach out for support, and finding a therapist you feel connected and safe with is so important. That’s why I always offer a complimentary 15-minute phone call, where we can get to know each other and see if we’re the right fit.

We start with a thoughtful evaluation, creating a safe space to understand your unique experiences and goals. This foundation helps us tailor a personalized approach to support your growth and healing.

My approach to therapy is relational; through the therapeutic relationship, we can explore how to deepen your connection with yourself, and how to find meaning in your relationships with others.
