About Kristina
Kristina Hentges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Alaska and Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggle, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Her practice also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, separation and divorce, and questions about life purpose.
Kristina uses practical conversation and clinical knowledge to help people move through a problem. She describes counseling as a collaborative effort where the counselor shares tools and experience to support progress toward personal goals. Sessions focus on clear steps and doable strategies rather than abstract theory.
Clients often bring worries about mood, panic, social anxiety, and feelings of guilt or shame. Kristina also supports people dealing with workplace stress, money concerns, and women’s issues. She talks with people about relationship patterns and intimacy concerns in straightforward terms to identify next steps.
Her approach emphasizes building skills that can be used between sessions. That can include communication practice, coping plans for panic or anxiety, and ways to address addictive patterns. Kristina keeps goals concrete so progress is measurable and reviewable in session.
She prefers to provide counseling by video or audio only. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session, where they and Kristina outline immediate goals and a plan for moving forward.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem-solving. One common approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - learning and practicing coping steps for anxiety and panic, and adjusting routines that feed mood or addictive patterns. This work helps when symptoms feel overwhelming and you want concrete ways to respond.Another common focus is relational and attachment-informed work. That involves mapping patterns in relationships, improving communication, and addressing fears of abandonment or intimacy. It helps people clarify what they want from relationships and change repeating behaviors that cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristina will work with each person to identify what methods suit their goals and preferences. That planning is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made so adjustments can be made where needed.
She prefers video or audio sessions. If you are unsure which format will fit your life, confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help maintain continuity of care after a life change, while the therapist and client decide on a plan together.
