About Krista
Krista Hanks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, and trauma. She focuses on building practical skills and clearer communication so clients can feel more stable day to day. Her style is warm and straightforward to make tough topics easier to talk about.
Krista works with people who feel isolated or stuck by old patterns. She guides conversations about attachment, abandonment, and body image so clients can spot repeating cycles.
Background and approach
She also supports those coping with chronic illness or pain by addressing how health challenges affect mood and identity. In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. The goal is to teach reliable tools for handling panic, intrusive worries, or low self-worth.
She helps clients practice new responses to control issues, jealousy, and communication breakdowns. Krista brings three years of counseling experience to her practice as an LPC in Texas. That experience informs simple, step-by-step plans for working through divorce, grief, or eating and food-related concerns.
She emphasizes small changes that add up over time. She invites people who want clearer boundaries, better emotional regulation, or a renewed sense of purpose to start a conversation. Sessions can focus on building self-compassion, repairing strained relationships, or reducing the intensity of panic and anxiety symptoms.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Krista draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and real-life practice. One common approach she uses teaches grounding and breathing skills to reduce panic and anxiety symptoms; these are practiced in session and reviewed between meetings to build confidence. Another approach centers on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing more balanced thoughts, which can help with depression, low self-worth, and some ADHD-related struggles.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Krista will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on goals, comfort level, and how someone responds in early sessions. The plan evolves as progress is made so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexible ways to stay connected. Video is useful for teaching skills and observing reactions, phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can provide quick check-ins and ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life and responsibilities.
