About Kristina
Kristina Hentges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twelve years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma, and intimacy concerns. Her style is direct and compassionate, aiming to help clients move forward one step at a time.
Kristina believes counseling is a shared process. She offers guidance, tools, and steady support while clients make decisions and set goals. Sessions emphasize clear steps and real-life changes rather than jargon or abstract theory.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with mood concerns, panic attacks, social anxiety, and issues related to attachment and abandonment. She also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and money. That range lets her adapt practical strategies to each person's situation.
Kristina tends to use evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, addictions, and emotional regulation. She aims to create a calm, focused environment where people can talk things through and practice new skills. Her approach balances empathy with concrete tools for coping and growth.
Kristina provides services from Alaska and holds LPC credentials in Alaska and Texas. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered by voice or video when possible. She encourages people to take the first step and explore whether therapy could help them meet their goals.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people process traumatic events by teaching grounding and emotional regulation skills to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach addresses anxiety and panic by breaking problems into manageable steps, practicing coping skills, and using gradual exposure to reduce avoidance and fear.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try methods that fit the situation. Adjustments are made as needed so treatment stays aligned with what the person finds most helpful.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when that helps, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is wanted. Live chat and messaging can fit brief updates, skill practice, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
