More about Crystal

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

Hello! My name is Crystal and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Minnesota. I graduated from St. Cloud State University in 2006 and I have about 16 years of counseling experience under my belt. In those years, I have had the pleasure of working with individuals, couples and families in both residential and outpatient settings. Most of the people I have worked with have been those that have experienced significant trauma; however, I have also been able to work with those experiencing daily life stressors.

I have been told by many that I am easy to talk to and that is my main goal. I wish to offer an unbiased, non-judgmental, validating, and caring experience to those who are seeking help. Taking the first step to engage in therapy is difficult enough and it is my hope to offer comfort and reassurance during the process.

The approaches that I tend to gravitate towards are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Client Centered, and Solution Focused. I believe with a mixture of these modalities most people can find their way through their tough times and get to a point where they feel more comfortable with life.

I definitely look forward to going on the journey with you to get to a better place with life and yourself.

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.

I have only been working with Crystal for about a month snd a half so far. But personally I have seen improvement in myself with the things I have been suffering with. Still have a ways to go, but I know with working with Crystal and the hard work I’m doing l know I’ll be in a better place come with time. She gives me worksheets to do, and those are helping a lot. She is so easy to talk to. Responds quickly to my messages, is timely about joining video chat sessions. Timely about sending me worksheets when she says she will. Listens to what I have to say. I will continue to work with Crystal. I am very pleased with my experience thus far with Crystal. 12/10 experience!

She is has helped me in a lot of ways.

Reviewed March 2021

Crystal has been an invaluable third-party listener to my life over the past few months. I’ve been able to count on her to give me an outside perspective that is both impartial but supportive. She also showed me how I respond well to having a task to do when things are feeling overwhelming for me, and she’s provided great worksheets and techniques for getting a handle on my anxious thoughts. I was in a rough emotional spiral during the pandemic due to interruptions to some mediocre coping techniques I was doing on my own. Crystal helped me take a step back, re-evaluate my feelings and stresses, and build better strategies for self-care to get me through this time, future stressful periods, and everyday triggers.

Crystal is extremely easy to talk to, I felt comfortable sharing with her immediately. She had great, practical, and implementable suggestions that have really helped me.

Reviewed November 2020

Crystal is great so far. We’ve only had two sessions, so I don’t think the questions about trust and expertise are applicable yet! Also, I really prefer morning appointments, and she doesn’t have any. Can that be changed?

Reviewed September 2020
