About Kristina
Kristina Hentges is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 12 years of experience. She practices in Alaska and brings a calm, direct style to sessions. She focuses on helping people who are coping with anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma, and intimacy-related issues.
Kristina approaches counseling as a partnership. She listens to what matters most, helps clarify goals, and suggests practical steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions often include talking through difficult moments, building coping skills, and practicing new ways to communicate and manage emotions.
Background and approach
Her work includes support for people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety and phobias, mood struggles, and workplace stress. She also addresses attachment concerns, abandonment wounds, and issues around forgiveness, guilt, and shame. Financial and life-purpose worries are another part of her practice.
Kristina holds LPC credentials and has provided care across different settings over the past decade. She prefers to meet with people via video or audio sessions and uses those formats to keep sessions focused and conversational. She aims to create a straightforward space where clients can try new responses and track progress.
Many clients seek help for relationships, divorce or separation adjustments, and intimacy challenges, and Kristina supports individuals as they work through those topics. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and tailors strategies to each person's needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Kristina uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for anxiety and panic - learning short breathing and grounding exercises, practicing exposure to feared situations in small steps, and rehearsing responses to anxious thoughts. This helps reduce the intensity of panic attacks and improves confidence in everyday situations.Another frequent focus is relationship and attachment work. That approach looks at patterns of connection and communication, helps people recognize repeating behaviors, and teaches new ways to ask for needs or set boundaries. It is useful for intimacy-related issues, divorce or separation adjustments, and rebuilding trust after trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust strategies together over time. That collaborative work helps identify what feels most helpful for each person.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet those goals. Kristina prefers video or audio sessions to keep conversations close to face-to-face, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, between-session support, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping momentum between appointments.
