About Kyria
Kyria Chrisp-Stashak is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alaska with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. Kyria also addresses concerns such as addictions, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, parenting, and coping with major life changes.
She aims for conversations that feel direct and practical. Sessions focus on naming what is happening, identifying immediate steps, and trying simpler ways to respond to hard feelings. Kyria encourages people to talk about the parts of life that feel stuck or hurt, including attachment and abandonment concerns or difficulties that stem from family of origin and blended family situations.
Her work includes addressing communication problems, jealousy, infidelity, and issues tied to mood disorders or co-occurring substance use. She also supports people navigating multicultural questions, military-related adjustment, and the stresses that come with men’s issues or feeling isolated.
People who want straightforward problem-solving will find sessions that blend listening with practical options. Kyria focuses on what can change now, and on small moves that reduce overwhelm. She asks clear questions, reflects what she hears, and helps set short-term goals to test new approaches.
If you are an adult facing early-career pressure, relationship change, or a difficult emotional period, Kyria can help you sort priorities and plan next steps. To begin, confirm current session options before booking and use the therapist's intake steps to schedule a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Many profiles list broad evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Two common approaches that fit Kyria's described work are cognitive-behavioral strategies and trauma-informed care. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to ease anxiety, depression, or stress. Trauma-informed approaches prioritize understanding how past trauma shapes current reactions and pacing work so people feel more in control of what comes next.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where client feedback shapes which techniques are emphasized and how sessions progress.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fewer disruptions to daily routines and easier fitting of appointments around work or school. Confirm which session formats Kyria currently offers before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short follow-ups when needed, helping therapy fit into everyday life without requiring a major schedule change.
