More about Krystal
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
My name is Krystal Johnson, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I earned my Master of Social Work degree, specializing in Children, Youth and Families, from California State University, Hayward, in 2011 and received my Licensure in 2015. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, relationships/parenting and more. Throughout the years as a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the connection, rapport and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your most vulnerable thoughts.
My goal is to provide insight, techniques, and tools (to work on and practice in between sessions) that you can use in making changes in your life. Most importantly, I will work with you at a pace that you are comfortable with to ensure we are moving toward the goals that you make for yourself. I look forward to encouraging you, empowering you, guiding you, and even challenging you at times.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Krystal seems nice and competent, but I just met her so it's kind of hard to make too many conclusions at this point.
Krystal listened intently and gave me sound advice. I would recommend her to all of my friends and family.
Krystal has been wonderful. I have tried counseling before and it was less than idea. I am happy to be working with Krystal she provides a safe space for me to voice my concerns and provides resources for me to help me on my life journey she is amazing!
I love working with Krystal! It has taken me awhile to find the right mental health counsellor. Krystal listens with compassion and gently helps redirect so that I can focus and make progress toward my mental health goals. I feel supported snd empowered with every session!
