About Kyria

Kyria Chrisp-Stashak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alaska with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and depression. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s happening and begin to make practical changes.

Kyria invites clients to name their concerns and works with them at a steady pace. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, such as attachment wounds, communication breakdowns, or past abuse that still affects day-to-day life. Sessions aim to bring clearer thinking and calmer reactions so clients can manage mood shifts and difficult feelings.

Her background includes supporting people with addictions, parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, and identity issues in LGBT clients. Kyria also addresses co-occurring challenges like bipolar symptoms, substance use, and isolation. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people cope with life changes and rebuild routines that feel sustainable.

People who choose Kyria typically work on improving communication, setting healthy boundaries, and reducing symptoms of anxiety or depression. She helps clients map small, achievable steps toward their goals. She emphasizes collaboration and regular review of progress so the work stays practical and relevant.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and materials are explained in plain language throughout therapy.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Many of Kyria’s sessions draw on practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on changing patterns in thinking and behavior. For example, helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new responses can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Another common focus is addressing attachment and relationship patterns by noticing interaction cycles and trying different ways of communicating to improve closeness and reduce conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kyria collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients and therapist check in regularly to see what helps and what needs to change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Many people appreciate the practical benefits of remote sessions, such as fitting appointments into a busy day, avoiding travel, or choosing a shorter check-in when time is limited. Licensed professionals can still provide focused, goal-oriented treatment online, and Kyria will work with each client to make sessions fit everyday life and responsibilities.
