About Kyria
Kyria Chrisp-Stashak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience practicing in Alaska. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, depressed, or recovering from trauma and abuse. Kyria aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.
Kyria creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what worries them. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She listens for patterns that keep problems alive and helps clients try different ways of responding.
How Kyria works
Common topics in her work include relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction and substance use, and challenges tied to parenting or family dynamics. She also addresses mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and problems with self-esteem and isolation. Cultural and veteran issues are part of her experience when they affect a person's life.
Kyria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward real-world changes. Conversations are direct but compassionate, aimed at skills people can practice between meetings. She supports people as they test new habits and notice what works.
With a straightforward style, Kyria helps clients plan steps that fit their daily lives. She encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. Her Alaska practice reflects a practical approach to coping with life changes and rebuilding resilience.

Practical approaches for online counseling and change
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear goals, skills practice, and step-by-step change. One common approach Kyria uses emphasizes skill building for anxiety and mood management - clients learn short exercises to reduce overwhelm and test new behaviors in daily life. Another common focus is trauma-informed work that helps people make sense of past hurts and practice safer, steadier ways of relating to themselves and others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, then suggest techniques that fit each person's needs. Together the client and therapist will check progress and adjust methods if something is not helping.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this practice. Video calls let people have a traditional session from wherever they are, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy around work, parenting, or travel commitments.
