I have been an independently licensed professional counselor since 2012. As an independently licensed professional counselor I offer support services to empower each person and/or family to fully function in society by assisting all people to reach their potential through a life-long learning process. The nature of my work permits me to perform a variety of care services including but not limited to: individual therapy, family therapies, couples therapy, long-term counseling services, crisis and short-term brief therapy, consultation, coaching and training. I use problem solving, goal-directed strategies to help persons resolve challenges in their lives. I also draw evidence based practices that are founded in the following (but not limited to) theories: Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Dialectical Behavioral Theory, solution-focused therapy, and play therapy. I am also trained as a mental health first aid trainer and verbal de-escalation trainer.
I graduated from the University of Wyoming in 2005 with a B.A. in psychology. I completed my M.S. in mental health counseling from Walden University in 2010 and I am pursuing a PhD in Healthcare Administration.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Crystal is great! I'm so happy to work with her. She helped me a lot since I started therapy with her :)
Crystal has been great to work with. She’s empathetic, listens well and really gets to know her patients.
I just started seeing Crystal but I feel like she already understands how to work with me and motivates me to grow!
I'm so happy to have Crystal! She helped me to go through so much. I really developed myself to the better since I started talking to her :) I had bad experiences with therapists before (therapists that just push me into a corner and ask me to do tasks I don't feel comfortable with) but Crystal always understands me and gives me the right amount of "homework" so I can work step by step on my issues Thank you Crystal! <3
Crystal was very understanding and helpful.
