How her approaches work in online therapy
Crystal frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT focuses on practical changes in thinking and behavior and is often useful for anxiety, unhelpful anger patterns, and depressive symptoms.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal boundaries. DBT skills are concrete tools people can practice when they feel flooded or reactive.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Crystal collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and everyday life. She will review what helps and adjust methods as progress or needs change.
