About Krista
Krista Hanks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and self-esteem concerns. Krista also focuses on problems like isolation, communication struggles, and attachment issues.
She keeps conversations direct and practical. Sessions often look at what's causing daily stress and which coping skills make sense for the person's life. Krista spends time on concrete tools to manage panic, low mood, and overwhelming anxiety.
Krista also addresses longer-standing patterns such as abandonment worries, jealousy, control issues, and family-related problems. She supports work on body image, eating and food-related issues, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or pain. These topics come up alongside questions about life purpose and relationships.
Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. That means Krista pulls from approaches that have research behind them and focuses on what helps a person feel steadier day to day. The emphasis is on learning skills and testing changes between sessions.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Sessions are structured so people can set clear goals, try new coping strategies, and check progress over time.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Krista draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills for panic and anxiety, teaching step-by-step strategies to reduce overwhelming symptoms and make daily life more manageable. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns, helping people notice repeated reactions, try different ways of communicating, and reduce cycles that increase loneliness or conflict.Finding the right method is part of the work. Krista will help clarify goals and try approaches that match those goals and a person's preferences. The process is collaborative - she and the client check what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
