About Kristina
Kristina Hentges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience licensed in Alaska and Texas. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Her practice also includes concerns such as guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment, and challenges with communication.
Kristina uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help people move through hard moments. She often helps clients set clear goals and break problems into manageable pieces. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can feel doable day to day.
Her background includes more than a decade of clinical counseling with people dealing with mood disorders, panic, grief, and workplace or money-related stress. That experience shapes how she notices patterns and suggests approaches that address both emotions and actions.
In sessions she pays attention to how relationships and past wounds affect present choices. Forgiveness, self-worth, and rebuilding trust in oneself are common topics she addresses with clients. She also works with intimacy concerns and recovery from addictive behaviors.
Kristina prefers video or audio sessions rather than in-person meetings, and she explains session options during intake so people can choose what fits their life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions
Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns in thinking and behavior. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new, more balanced ways of thinking; these techniques are often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Behavioral methods emphasize small, practical steps such as exposure to feared situations or building daily routines, which can help with panic attacks, addictions, and avoidance. She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. The client and therapist review current needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which techniques to try first. Adjustments happen over time based on what is most helpful in real life. Kristina prefers video or audio sessions and asks people to confirm the exact session formats during intake. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better for a day off from work. When someone needs a different pace or focus, she adapts the session structure so the work can fit into everyday life without requiring major changes to routines.Areas of expertise
