About Krista

Krista Hanks is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. She offers a compassionate, individualized approach that emphasizes practical coping skills and emotional insight.

Background and approach

Her work often supports those coping with isolation, communication struggles, attachment-related concerns, and the fallout from shame or guilt. With three years of clinical experience, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address a broad range of issues including body image difficulties, chronic pain or illness, panic attacks, and relationship-related conflicts like jealousy or divorce and separation.

Sessions are tailored to each client's needs so that treatment targets priorities such as rebuilding self-worth, improving communication, and clarifying life purpose. Krista aims to partner with clients through change, helping them develop tools to manage symptoms and to create more satisfying day-to-day functioning.

Online approaches that support practical growth

Krista uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients manage symptoms and strengthen coping strategies. One common approach she applies focuses on teaching practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, which can include breathing, grounding, and structured problem-solving to reduce acute distress and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes exploring and processing trauma and attachment-related patterns, helping people make sense of painful experiences and build healthier relational habits.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work Krista offers. She partners with each client to identify goals, assess what methods resonate, and adapt strategies over time so treatment stays aligned with changing needs and preferences. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping their progress rather than following a preset plan.

Online sessions are offered through a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. These options provide flexibility for different communication styles and life circumstances, allowing clients to maintain continuity of care from their home or other convenient locations while coordinating appointments around their availability.
