More about Crystal

  • 13 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in both Arkansas and Texas. I have over 13 years of experience as a social worker dedicated to helping others learn tools that they can put in their emotional toolbox to use when needed. I work with both adults and couples who want to not only process what they are going through but also learn about themselves in order to discover what tools they need to grow.

I am a little different than what you probably think of when you consider going to a therapist, but this is a good thing. I will tailor your therapy experience to your unique personality and way of dealing with emotions or struggles that you may encounter in life. This will allow you to discover your strengths and how you can use them to overcome your current circumstance.

My current appointment schedule is limited to Monday through Thursday during lunch hours and early evening.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.
