Crystina’s advice are very practical and can be applied right away. My mental state has been improved a lot although I have finished only 2 sessions with her. I’m very happy to have Crystina in my support system.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Awesome
She is always able to help me find a way to work through my feelings.
I have met with Crystina only 6-7 times, and she has already been a significant help to me. I'm glad I found her.
Simply the Best!!!! Professional and Caring on ever level!!!!
Listens well and gives sound advice.
Crystina has been amazing so far. I have gone to multiple therapists before, but never had one I connected with. She shoots it straight and calls me out when needed! No complaints here!
She’s great
A great listener and gives great advice
Crystina has been very helpful and gave me many tools to work through my anxiety and self-image issues. She checked in regularly and has ample availability to schedule appointments.
She is amazing and responds quick
She’s just awesome!!
WARNING! This review is long but worth reading! ❤️❤️❤️☺️ Crystina Wells is a professional, respectful, and kind therapist. Her background in addiction and family issues (among several other areas of expertise) is vast and invaluable! I felt safe and comfortable during our first session. She is excellent at listening to my needs and has several tools she’s shared with me that are already working. She quickly caught on to what my needs are and attends to them in every session! My anxiety and depression are lifting as I follow her suggestions. She has taught me to be kind to myself and love myself first. If you want a clinician who is on your side, Crystina is the one! I’m more motivated to journal, exercise, breathe, and respect my feelings and values now. I didn’t know that was important! This process has taught me that I am important and deserve to live in accordance with my values (even though I didn’t know what those were, don’t worry, she helps you figure out what your values are too, ha ha!) and core beliefs. Did I mention how affordable this platform is? It’s $72 a week, payable one month at a time! Back in the 90s I was paying twice that! Besides weekly sessions with Crystina, I participate in seminars and daily journal prompts on the BH app. Do it! You start to feel better even before you meet your therapist/clinician!! Thank you Crystina! ❤️ Oh, and when you refer friends, you get a discount! I’ve already sent four friends to the platform!!!! YOU DESERVE THIS! Get the APP!! ☮️
very helpful and open
I have suffered for years with addiction, depression, anxiety, stress and relationship issues. Not forgetting trauma, bipolar newly diagnosed and co-dependency. I started counseling at 7 and at 55 still and more messed up from previous trauma. I suffered because the many I have tried along the way did not get me, Crystina gets me, and after couple months knows me, she can call me on stuff. I love her. She has given me hope and I hope to be a long time patient with her and only her. I just might get well.
She is so patient, kind, and understanding. She is also very supportive of me and my decisions. She also always makes herself available for me any time that I need her. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who has had difficulties with therapists in the past.
Crystina is the first therapist I've connected with in years. In a short time she's already helped me make so much progress in various facets of my life. She is now a constant in my life and I am soooo grateful.
Crystina has been amazing. She is very helpful, we were able to reach great insight as to what triggers my anxiety. I’ve had postpartum anxiety for the last year, and even after a few sessions with her, I now got the tools to handle it. She super helpful when it comes to my relationship as well, highly recommended her for anyone seeking help.
I got lucky ! I understand that you can switch your therapist but I haven’t even thought twice about that since I started !
I’ve had a few sessions with Crystina now and I feel already she knows what I need better than I do. I look forward to our calls together and really appreciate her feedback.
I have got benefit and enjoyed the therapy and Therapist.
They asked me to do this while I was busy but Crystina is great and I have felt like therapy is really helping with her giving me the tools I need
I had a great support from Crystina and that was what I needed! Thanks !
I love how whle i am in crisis mode can send questions or comment all through out the weeek
Amazing and caring
She is very good at listening but also giving feedback which I think is important within a session.
My therapist has in depth experience dealing with clients with ADHD. No amount of education can substitute for experience.
Crystina is objective and compassionate. She listens, cares, offers support, and asks questions that open doors to answers and other perspectives. She checks in frequently on the chat and when I respond ,on my own time, she responds almost immediately. I am grateful for her service!
