I have recommended my therapist and this.app to any asking about therapy

Reviewed May 2024

I have recommended both this app and my therapist to several people since I started using this app and love that I can message when I am having an issue and not have to wait weeks and hope I don't forget to mention an issue I'm dealing with with everything else that's happens in life after that moment, and having multiple way to converse is nice for however you feel comfortable

More about Crystal

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello and welcome to my page!

All of us as therapists have lots of letters after our name, mine are LPC, NCC. You may wonder what it all means. Mine means that I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is also nationally certified. Meaning I can move more easily from my home state of Michigan if I choose to having met the requirements for almost every state in the US rather than just Michigan's requirements. I have been doing one on one counseling as well as family counseling for approximately 6 years now. I began my career working at a partial hospitalization program running group meetings for clients who were in crisis. I love it all, I love helping people figure out their issues or just how to help you best to improve your lives overall.

I was a double major at Michigan State University in Psychology and Criminal Justice. I have a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and have completed almost all of the course work towards my PhD. I attend many seminars throughout the year in order to learn new methods, keep up to date on current research and medications as well as to meet new people and get fresh perspectives.

I don't have one particular treatment approach that I exclusively use. I have found that each person is different and I need to be able to change and adapt to them. I do have favorites however and those are Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I like CBT because it helps identify negative or faulty thinking and helps you see things more clearly in order to respond to them in a healthier way. I like SFBT because it focuses on solutions. You tell me what goal you want to reach and we work together to get you there.

If you're ready to start, then I am too!

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, 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.

Crystal has been more than helpful! She responds faster than I expected and has provided me with a lot help with my day-to-day issues as well as the long-term issues. I have had problems with counselors in the past that I saw in-person making me feel worse than better and not letting me talk about the issues that I want to talk about, but rather talking about their "plan" for me. This is my first time trying online counseling and I can't imagine being paired with another counselor!

Very supportive and understanding, and a pleasure to talk to.

Reviewed February 2017

Crystal is a phenomenal counselor. She gives realistic evidence based recommendations, however questions what the client wants and why, instead of imposing what she thinks is best. She provides great tools and educational materials specific to client needs, and applies them to real life situations. She recommends other supportive measures when appropriate and uses community resources to do so. It is obvious she really thinks about the best interest of the client and truly enjoys when she finds something helpful. She moves at a pace the client is comfortable with, but also pushes the client to continue to conquer and achieve. She is quick to respond and is fantastic at providing alternative perspectives. She is compassionate, consistent, supportive, encouraging, and honest. I am extremely lucky to have found someone as open and accepting as Crystal to begin and continue my healing process with. She is the type of counselor that makes a positive impact. I would recommend her to anyone.

Crystal has helped me so much through listening, caring and guiding me through my troubles. She not only listens but she gets to know you as an individual and goes beyond the call of duty to help you. She always messages back quickly and is not pushy or overbearing. She guides you to make your own informed decisions and goes at a pace suitable for you. I'm lucky to have Crystal guide me through so much and help me self-evaluate and reflect without dwelling on all the bad things. She provides a safe environment to talk and is the most non-judgemental person I know! Basically Crystal is amazing! Thank you so much for everything!

Crystal is firm in getting you to not just think, but DO something with what brought you here, and about your goals. Firm but not domineering, funny but not a comedy show, she is the greatest. Her words stick with you, and not in a way that brings back old pains or leaves you (just) thinking. Her words leave you (happily) doing.
