Hello, and welcome! I commend you for taking this step in your well-being. It takes courage to seek professional help. I would be honored to partner with you on your journey through life’s challenges. My name is Crystal Ulibarri and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I earned my Master of Social Work degree, with emphasis on border culture and military culture, from the University of Texas El Paso in 2013. I have worked in various settings providing treatment, psycho-education and support to individuals, families and groups. My experience includes understanding and developing skills to manage stressors as a result of trauma, relationship issues, occupational stressors, grief, anxiety, depression and self-esteem. I believe that we can all benefit from a journey of self-awareness and discovery. I believe that through life’s challenges, we grow and become empowered by understanding ourselves. I have a passion for social justice issues and an understanding that social trauma impacts the mental health and well-being of our communities. My counseling style is client-centered, supportive and empathetic. I am goal-oriented, straightforward forward and at times, will respectfully challenge you outside of your comfort zone. I understand the importance of maintaining autonomy, dignity and respect. I look forward to working with you! *Please note that I only provide services to clients in the state of Texas.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
After our first session, you can expect that we develop a plan to address your needs. I will provide you with skills and concepts that will empower you to manage your emotions and support your navigation in life's journey.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
The treatment methods I utilize include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe that my biggest strength is empowering my clients to manage their stressors by implementing the skills and tools developed during self-awareness. I will use concepts from CBT and DBT that will teach thought awareness and emotional regulation.
