Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Crystal Hackett

Crystal Hackett integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy to address a range of concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding practices to help manage emotional reactivity and build coping skills for everyday challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is also part of her toolkit for relationship work - it helps partners recognize and respond to underlying emotions to improve connection and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Crystal Hackett works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining techniques in ways that support practical progress and emotional insight.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, support continuity of care, and provide multiple ways to engage in therapy based on what feels most helpful to the individual.
