Crystal L Cooper
My name is Crystal Cooper and I am a Child, Youth and Family Therapist. I am licensed as a LMSW in the state of Texas and a LISW-S and CDCA in the state of Ohio. I obtained my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio and I then went on to obtained my Masters of Social Work at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio. I specialize in working with PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Disorder, Oppositional Deviant Disorder, school concerns, aggressive behavioral issues, and emotional regulation. By providing psychoeducation, skills and psychotherapy to patients struggling with mental illness, emotional disturbance and behavior issues I am able to help empower them to become the best version of themselves. I am experienced in providing individual, group, family therapy, crisis intervention, psychoeducation and collaborative care in the home, community, and the education environment. I utilize TF-CBT, motivational interviewing, person-centered, solution-focused, and mindfulness treatment modalities to build a safe and therapeutic relationship, incorporating parents along the way to produce the best possible outcomes to maintain thought, emotional and behavioral changes. Time has no measure, and I value the opportunity and responsibility of making an impact in the lives of others.
Helping others has always added an intrinsic joy in my life and I have found purpose in creating a safe space for others in a world struggling to find safety in others.
First session
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore life changing obstacles. In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Helping others has always added an intrinsic joy in my life and I have found purpose in creating a safe space for others in a world struggling to find safety in others. Having worked with our youth and their families for the past 15 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with our youth, adolescent and young adult population ages 6-24; as they are our future. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel trapped, overwhelmed and anxious about their lives.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT in my practice for the past 15 years. It's help so many clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We'll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors influence each other. We'll then use this knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
