Hello there and welcome to Bettterhelp! My name is Christal and I would love to welcome you to this platform.

What is your story? Everyone has one, and it's the details of that story that has led you here today. My approach to therapy is simple. I help client's "Do Their Work." If you're ready for a breakthrough, and are ready to do your work, then I'm your counselor. It's as simple as that! If you're reading this, then you're probably in a space right now where you're trying to work through some things in your life that might be tough. I specialize in the "tough stuff" and make it my goal to help my clients do their work as they navigate through life's challenges. As a licensed mental health counselor, and marriage and family therapist I firmly believe that anyone can change. If you are here, you are one step closer to pressing towards your healing and finding the happiness that you deserve.

You have now entered the judgement free zone, and once entered, you will find the support, care, and compassion that you need to help you through this tough time. Though I specialize in treating many different types of issues, (for more information please check out my specialties or simply just ask) I firmly believe that unraveling a person's story helps to develop insight and awareness, which in turn gives way to healing. YOU CANNOT HEAL WHAT YOU DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE, (and with that being said) it is my goal to help you tell your story, exactly the way that it is, in order to empower you to rewrite it. You are the author, and you hold the pen to determine what the outcome of your story will be.

In this safe space, you are not just another client with just another issue. While you are working with me I want to help support you not just once a week (during our weekly scheduled sessions) but throughout the week as well. I encourage my clients to communicate as much as they need to and I make it my goal to respond to client messages within 24 hours of its delivery.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

Christal is a talented counselor with a heart for Jesus. Also I've been able to schedule with her consistently and message with her for questions. Her foundation in the Bible guides our sessions to help me focus of God's truth even in my difficult situation. In just 3 sessions with her I am already feeling much more peace and confidence in Christ. I have a clearer picture now of how God wants me to move at this stage of my life. I thank God for her and for the Faithful Counseling service.

I started my healing/therapy journey with Christal back in May and I had no idea that in the 3 months she has worked with me that I would experience the growth that I have. I can say today that I am more aware and better equipped to handle the situations that I initially came to therapy for. I really love her therapy approach; I've sat with other therapist before and felt like they didn't see me or were really just telling me what do based only on their text-book knowledge. Christal's approach is more down to earth and she is just authentically herself and listens to you then guides in the direction you need to go. She is kind, thorough, and has a great sense of humor. I am very thankful that she was able to work with me these past 3 months. I feel and know that I have changed mentally and am overall in a healthier space! Thank you for all that you do Christal!

Christal has been a tremendous help in my walk towards receiving healing. I came in with some clear goals and she helped give me wisdom and clarity for each goal. I loved how direct she was when I shared about a specific experience and how she used some biblical words to help encourage me.

Christal is hands-down the best you can get! We worked together for a year and she helped me through several traumatic events I dealt with for years and learning to overcome them and get my power back! A year later, I have turned my life around and am in a place where I am extremely happy with my relationships and have made peace with my past traumas due to Christal's patience and tough talks that we went through. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is willing to face their demons and wants to make a drastic change in your life – especially if you want to hear the things that you need to and you're willing to do the hard work.

Christal is a knowledgeable and compassionate counselor. I appreciated her Christian perspective. She helped me to make major lifestyle changes and truly look within and figure out who I wanted to be. Unfortunately, several times I felt I did not have Christal’s undivided attention as she was going through the drive-thru ordering food or drinks. After working with her for many months I feel bad to write such an honest review, but I think it’s important for you to know how it may be. Lack of professionalism and flexibility in her schedule led for me to switch counselors. Christal is a great counselor when present. Although it no longer was a fit for me, Christal may be what you are looking for. Thank you for Christal for the growth you helped me achieve.

Christal is a phenomenal counsellor. She is honest, straightforward and to the point. She makes it clear from the beginning what her intentions are - to help you get to where you want to be. This was my first experience and it was without doubt a memorable one. She created a space that allowed me to come forward in my own time. For someone who has suffered with mutism in the past and had only recently started talking again, I was anxious about the whole process, but Christal was patient with me during our sessions. She encouraged but never forced me to open up until I was ready. She supported me by talking in my language and expressing myself in the ways I knew how - tapping into my creative side and giving me tasks to better understand myself and express me through my means. Her words of wisdom will stay with me forever. Christal truly is a wonderful counsellor and I am so grateful for this experience. Would strongly recommend.
