About Krista
Krista Croyle is an LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio with five years of clinical experience in addiction and mental health. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, grief, and the strain of life changes. Krista also has experience with co-morbidity and drug and alcohol addiction.
Her sessions are interactive and focused on practical steps. She draws on cognitive and behavioral tools alongside humanistic ideas to keep conversations grounded. Clients can expect a direct, respectful dialogue aimed at clear goals rather than labels.
Krista uses skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and build alternative responses. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when substance use or ambivalence about change comes up. Solution-Focused techniques help set short-term goals and track small wins.
She emphasizes communication skills when relationship tensions or family conflict appear. Sessions include skill practice and role play when helpful, and straightforward planning for coping with anger or stress at work or home. The therapist adapts the pace to each person’s needs while keeping sessions goal-oriented.
Krista has worked in settings that include individuals reentering the community after incarceration, which informs her practical, nonjudgmental style. People seeking help for addictions and tangled emotional issues often find the mix of concrete tools and conversational work useful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Krista often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and then practice specific alternatives. CBT is about identifying triggers and testing new responses to reduce reactive patterns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are useful when anger feels overwhelming or when someone needs tools to steady intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit those goals. Choices are adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
