Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Crystal integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside the Gottman Method to address a range of concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients can explore values, build self-understanding, and work through life transitions with a supportive presence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and support recovery from problematic patterns. The Gottman Method focuses on relationship skills and communication strategies, helping couples improve conflict management, rebuild trust, and strengthen intimacy through structured exercises and feedback.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Crystal works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her style and techniques over time based on client progress and feedback so therapy remains user-centered and goal-oriented.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and reach licensed professionals from different locations. These options support ongoing access to therapists and allow conversation and skill-building to continue in ways that suit each clients life.
