Kristina Hentges, LPC

Kristina Hentges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alaska and Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She views counseling as a collaborative process - an opportunity to walk alongside someone facing a challenge and support them as they work toward change. Drawing on professional knowledge and practical experience, she helps clients navigate difficult emotions, set achievable goals, and develop skills to improve daily life.

Her work has included supporting people with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and addictions. Kristina regards the decision to begin counseling as a courageous step and values providing a fresh perspective that empowers clients to move forward. She prefers to conduct sessions via video or audio, offering care in formats that support real-time connection and conversation.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kristina uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach emphasizes skills-based work that helps clients build coping strategies for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns - teaching tools for managing symptoms and navigating stressful situations. Another strand of her work centers on attachment and relationship patterns, exploring how early and current relationship dynamics influence communication, intimacy, and recurring conflicts. A trauma-informed orientation guides support for people recovering from abuse or loss, with attention to pacing, safety, and processing difficult experiences.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Kristina partners with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailors techniques to fit each person’s needs so progress is practical and meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule regular care, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive support in ways that suit individual routines and comfort levels.
