01About Krista
Krista Hanks is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Texas who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. She works with individuals worried about self-esteem, ADHD, and panic attacks. Her tone is straightforward and compassionate, and she aims to make the first steps easier for a concerned parent or adult seeking help.
Krista designs sessions to match each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She listens for patterns related to attachment, abandonment, and communication.
Background and approach
From there she helps people build practical strategies for day-to-day coping, emotion regulation, and clearer boundaries. Many clients bring concerns about body image, chronic pain or illness, and feelings of isolation. Krista addresses these by talking through how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships interact, and by practicing small changes that add up over time.
She also helps people work through guilt, shame, and forgiveness at a pace that feels manageable. Her work emphasizes building stronger connections and a clearer sense of purpose. Sessions often include skill practice that can be used between visits.
Krista encourages honest conversation about progress and setbacks so goals stay realistic and meaningful. Krista has three years of clinical experience as an LPC in Texas. She offers sessions in English and provides multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

04Online support
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Krista uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building new skills. One approach she emphasizes involves identifying and shifting thought and behavior patterns that feed anxiety and low mood; this helps people notice triggers and try different responses. Another common focus is working with attachment and abandonment-related concerns by exploring relationship patterns and practicing clearer communication to reduce isolation and improve connection.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Krista works with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress continues. She emphasizes practical tools and steady, achievable steps rather than quick fixes.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow more visual interaction and typical therapy pacing. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or fit a short session into a busy day. These options aim to make care more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
