About Kyria
Kyria Chrisp-Stashak is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alaska with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Kyria also addresses addictions, LGBT issues, parenting concerns, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
She focuses on helping people speak openly about what they are feeling. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical, with time spent naming problems and deciding on next steps. Kyria aims to make it easier to talk about painful memories, relationship strain, or the strain of major life changes.
Her background includes work with people facing attachment and abandonment issues, blended family issues, and family of origin concerns. She has experience with communication problems, infidelity, isolation, jealousy, and mood disorders. That range means she often helps people untangle how past relationships affect current ones.
Kyria also brings experience supporting those affected by drug and alcohol addiction and co-morbid mental health challenges. She works with multicultural concerns and has familiarity with veteran and armed forces issues. This practical focus is used to help clients set small, manageable goals.
People who meet with her can expect clear conversation about what is causing stress and concrete options to try between sessions. To start, she asks straightforward questions about current struggles and recent history, then agrees on the first steps together.
Evidence-based methods and online care
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful patterns and processing difficult memories. One common approach uses guided conversations to help people notice how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going, and then practices new responses to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. This can help with stress, depression, and relationship conflict. Another useful approach involves working through traumatic memories in manageable steps so they feel less overwhelming. That method helps people who have experienced abuse or other painful events to regain a sense of control over reactions and daily life. Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to choose approaches that match goals, needs, and comfort level. Clients can expect regular check-ins about whether a method is helping and adjustments when needed. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care when life changes require flexibility.Areas of expertise
