About Krystal
Krystal Laday is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, substance use concerns, grief, and relationship issues. She also takes on work around self-esteem, intimacy challenges, parenting strain, and career transitions.
Krystal has provided services in hospital and outpatient clinic settings. That work included grief counseling and helping adults with posttraumatic stress, depression, and ADHD. She has experience supporting people who face co-occurring substance use disorders.
Her sessions are direct and practical. Krystal uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns in thinking and behavior and motivational interviewing to support change. She encourages clients to take an active role in their progress and prefers straightforward conversations about goals and next steps.
She does not rely on a single method for everyone. Krystal adapts sessions to what a person needs, and she combines talk, skill practice, and brief exercises during appointments. Clients can expect clear suggestions and tasks to try between sessions.
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, adoption and foster care situations, and several complex mood and impulse-related concerns. Those experiences shape how she plans sessions, especially when people are juggling multiple problems at once.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Krystal uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and often includes small experiments and homework to reduce anger, anxiety, or low mood. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to set realistic next steps when motivation is low.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Krystal will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and preferences, and then try strategies together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on thought patterns, motivation, or short-term problem solving in sessions.
