About Kyria
Kyria Chrisp-Stashak is an Alaska Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Her practice also addresses addictions, LGBT issues, intimacy concerns, parenting worries, and coping with life changes.
Kyria focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. She encourages people to say what is on their mind and to notice patterns that repeat from earlier family life. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful routines and try small changes that can feel manageable. This includes looking at attachment and abandonment concerns when they are relevant to current problems.
Her background includes a decade of direct practice in Alaska settings. That experience has involved supporting people through mood disorders, substance-related concerns, and complex situations where more than one issue exists. She brings that experience to help clients untangle overlapping problems like communication breakdowns and blended family challenges.
In sessions she keeps the focus on concrete problems and next steps. Conversations often cover relationship patterns, boundaries, and how family of origin issues influence adult behavior. Practical coping skills for anxiety and depression are also a frequent part of the work.
For people worried about recurring family patterns or feeling stuck after life changes, Kyria offers a straightforward approach. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and suggests evidence-based techniques that fit the person's needs. Clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session.
Using evidence-based methods in virtual sessions
Many clients benefit from clear, evidence-based techniques that address symptoms and patterns. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Attachment-focused work looks at how early family roles and expectations affect adult relationships and can guide changes in how someone connects with others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences together and decide which techniques to try first. That collaborative planning can include short-term skills practice and longer-term attention to family of origin patterns.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Ask about which online or remote session options are offered and how scheduling works. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits everyday life.
