About Krista
Krista Hanks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, and ADHD. She also addresses related issues such as isolation, communication problems, and attachment struggles.
Krista uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage difficult feelings and reactions. Sessions are straightforward. She helps clients identify patterns, learn coping skills, and practice new ways of relating to others.
She often works on things like panic attacks, chronic shame, and problems with body image or eating. Conversations include looking at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, then trying small experiments to test new approaches. Krista supports people as they practice these strategies between sessions.
Her work also covers life transitions such as divorce or separation, grief around loss, and the stress of chronic illness or pain. She pays attention to how attachment and abandonment concerns show up in relationships and daily life. Practical communication skills and boundaries are common topics.
People who want clear steps and steady guidance find this useful. Sessions move at a practical pace, with time for questions and skill practice. To start, Krista asks about current concerns and goals so sessions fit what each person needs.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Krista draws on research-backed methods to address anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns. Cognitive-style approaches focus on noticing thoughts and testing whether they fit reality; this helps with panic, worry, and low mood by giving concrete steps to try. Behavioral techniques involve small, guided exposures and activity planning so people can slowly face feared situations and rebuild confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Krista collaborates with each person to choose which techniques to try first and adjusts them based on progress, goals, and personal preferences. The plan is revisited regularly so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or lunch break, reduce travel time, and allow some sessions without video when a shorter check-in is better. Licensed professionals can use a mix of talking, skill practice, and homework that fits into everyday life.
