About Kyria

Kyria Chrisp-Stashak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alaska with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She also helps those coping with trauma and abuse and supports clients facing relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken honestly. Sessions are framed around what matters to the person sitting across from her. Kyria encourages practical steps clients can use between meetings to notice progress and handle tough moments.

Her work includes attention to addiction and recovery concerns, communication problems, and issues tied to family of origin. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment wounds, jealousy, and isolation or loneliness. Men's wellbeing is listed among her focus areas and is part of the range of topics she addresses.

Kyria brings experience helping people navigate complex mood issues such as bipolar disorder and other mood disorders. She also works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and those facing challenges as veterans or military-affiliated individuals. Her approach is steady and focused on clear goals.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Most of Kyria's practice centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life problem solving. One common approach she uses emphasizes managing anxiety and stress by teaching step-by-step coping skills, breathing and grounding practices, and ways to break down overwhelming tasks into smaller steps. This approach is useful when anxiety or daily stress is getting in the way of work, relationships, or sleep.

Another frequent focus is on trauma-informed methods that help people safely process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life. This work moves at the client's pace and includes building skills to handle strong emotions and to notice triggers without becoming overwhelmed. Such methods can help with trauma, abuse, and long-standing patterns tied to attachment or abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kyria collaborates with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps and what does not.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can tailor sessions so they focus on practical skills, emotional processing, or communication work depending on what you need.
