About Kyria
Kyria Chrisp-Stashak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alaska. She brings ten years of experience helping people sort through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and depression. Kyria focuses on creating a calm, straightforward space where people can say what they need to say and be heard.
Kyria uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood problems and cope with life changes. She talks things through with clients so they can spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Her work also covers addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, and challenges connected to identity such as LGBT matters. She pays attention to how past wounds can affect current relationships, including attachment and abandonment themes. Kyria also addresses blended family issues, family of origin concerns, and communication problems that make daily life harder.
She helps people navigate infidelity, jealousy, isolation, and other relational strains. Kyria draws on a decade of practice to tailor sessions to each person’s situation. She aims for clear goals and simple strategies clients can use between sessions.
The tone in her work is supportive and direct, with an emphasis on practical steps. Sessions are offered in English from her Alaska practice. Kyria is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

Evidence-based approaches and online support for daily parenting challenges
Kyria uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on patterns of thinking and behavior. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test kinder, more realistic ways of thinking; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach looks at how relationships shape feelings and reactions, helping clients identify attachment patterns and try different responses in close relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kyria works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made. Together they set clear aims and try small, testable changes between sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity while juggling parenting responsibilities and busy schedules.
