About Krista
Krista Hanks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people dealing with guilt and shame and related concerns like isolation and communication problems.
Krista keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens for patterns that keep a person stuck and helps them try new ways of responding. Conversations often focus on understanding attachment wounds, testing small behavioral changes, and learning tools to ease panic and worry.
She also addresses how physical health and long-term illness affect mood and sense of self. Topics such as body image, chronic pain, eating and food-related issues, and feelings about separation or divorce are part of her work. Krista helps people name what they feel and decide on manageable next steps.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide interventions rather than on rigid formulas. Krista aims to make therapy a steady, practical place to practice different skills and see what shifts. She encourages clients to set goals and track progress between sessions.
Sessions are held with adult clients in English and are offered from her Texas practice. Those interested in starting are asked to use the site's matching process to schedule a first appointment and to confirm the current session options before booking.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Krista uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach is skill-focused cognitive work, which helps people notice thought patterns that fuel anxiety, shame, or guilt and then practice alternative responses. This can be useful for panic, worry, and negative self-beliefs.Another strand of her work looks at attachment and relationship patterns. These conversations examine how early and current relationships shape reactions like fear of abandonment, jealousy, or difficulty with communication. The focus is on understanding patterns and trying different ways of relating that feel manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Krista will work with each client to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
