About Kristina

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alaska and Texas with 12 years of experience, Kristina Hentges helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She offers video or audio sessions by preference and conducts work in English. Her approach emphasizes practical steps and goal-focused conversations to help people move forward.

Kristina describes counseling as a collaborative process. She uses her experience to share ideas and tools that clients can try between sessions. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and setting small achievable goals. She frames asking for help as a concrete, strength-based step rather than a sign of failure.

Her background includes long-term work with people managing mood disorders and panic attacks. She has supported individuals dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns as well as forgiveness, guilt, and shame. Communication problems, divorce and separation issues, workplace stress, and money concerns are also areas she addresses.

Kristina works with intimacy-related concerns and relationship challenges in focused sessions. She also addresses women’s issues and social anxiety and phobia. Practical coping strategies, behavioral techniques, and stepwise goal setting are part of how she helps people steady daily functioning.

Clients can expect a direct, conversational style that focuses on concrete changes. Kristina prefers video or audio sessions and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How evidence-based techniques are used in remote sessions

Kristina emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her work. That means she focuses on methods with a clear rationale for changing thoughts and behaviors. For example, behavioral strategies break problems into small actions to reduce panic and manage mood swings; these involve practice tasks and step-by-step exposure or activity scheduling.

Another common method is cognitive-style work that helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts. This approach teaches simple tools to challenge assumptions that feed anxiety, guilt, or low self-worth. Both methods are practical and aimed at everyday change rather than abstract discussion.

Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match goals, symptoms, and preferences. That collaborative framing helps adjust methods over time if something isn’t working.

Kristina prefers video or audio sessions. If you need to confirm which session formats are currently offered, check the booking details before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - they can shorten commute time, allow quicker check-ins during a workday break, and let people use audio-only when bandwidth is limited or they prefer not to be on camera.
