About Kristina
Kristina Hentges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with licenses in Alaska and Texas and has 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Her practice includes specific focuses such as social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, and workplace stress.
Kristina approaches counseling as a collaborative process. She listens to what is most pressing and helps clients set practical goals. Sessions center on identifying patterns that cause distress and trying concrete steps to change them. Kristina often uses conversation and real-world practice tasks to build new habits.
Her background spans a range of concerns from mood disorders and grief to communication problems and attachment difficulties. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, divorce, money worries, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. This breadth gives her experience with many common crossroads in adult life.
Kristina prefers to conduct sessions by video or audio only. That format lets her focus on conversation and skill practice rather than written messages or in-person logistics. If a different session format is important, clients should confirm options before booking.
She describes counseling as a step that brings a new perspective. In practical terms that means tracking small changes between sessions, adjusting plans when something does not work, and building toward clearer decision making. Her style is direct and goal-oriented while remaining adaptable to each person’s pace.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and behavior change. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. These methods help people test assumptions and practice different responses in everyday situations.Behavioral strategies such as graded exposure help people face feared situations in small steps. This approach breaks down overwhelming tasks into manageable steps and builds confidence through repeated practice. It is commonly used for social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, and avoidance patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristina collaborates with each client to choose which techniques fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences. She adjusts plans when something is not working and reviews progress in session to refine the approach.
Regarding online sessions, Kristina prefers video or audio formats. If you need a different option, confirm what she currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow focused conversational work without travel, and let clients practice skills in real-life settings between meetings. Many people find that regular short sessions and homework tasks translate well to this format.
