Crystal Deets
Hi! I’m Crystal. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of mental health experience and 10+ years of Therapy experience. I have been in private practice for 6 years and havr been utilizing telehealth during this time frame.
We take a humorous approach to counter the negative thoughts that can keep us limited in our lives.
Telehealth has allowed us to connect in more non formal ways, which I think adds another layer of comfort to sessions.
First session
Our first session, I go through a basic assessment with you. During this time, I ask questions related to your family history, mental health history, what brought you to therapy, prior therapy experiences. This helps me with an overall understand of you, what has been helpful, and what you don’t think has produced the best outcomes for you. We also discuss areas you’d like to see yourself grow and identify steps we can begin working in that direction
Strengths
I have a variety of experience and utilize a collaborative, person centered approach. I create an open and non judgmental space. I have been described as helping sessions not feel as clinical or uncomfortable. We take a humorous approach to counter the negative thoughts that can keep us limited in our lives. We also work to identify actionable steps based on your specific concerns that can help lead to a more satisfying life
Ideal clients
Find yourself curious about ADHD, Autistic traits. Are you within the LGBTQ+ community or an Ally. Struggling with Grief, Religious Trauma, Women's health, Spirituality. These are areas I work closely with. If you’re looking to understand yourself better, feel more comfortable with who you are, find ways to develop your own internal locus of control, and step out of old storylines and framework.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
The primary approach I use is Acceptance and Commitment therapy. I work to meet you where you are, identify the values that are important to you, and then work to identify actionable steps that can help guide you in that direction. We find along the way this helps with decreasing anxiety and negative thinking, and increasing self-esteem.
