Chrystal Stover
Hi, I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S) in the state of Ohio. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from The Ohio State University and have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges. Much of my experience is in working with children, adolescents, and their families. I help young people learn to identify their thoughts and feelings and express them in healthy, effective ways. I also work closely with parents and caregivers, offering guidance and support to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and create more harmony at home.
In addition to my work with youth and families, I support adults dealing with a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.
In addition to my work with youth and families, I support adults dealing with a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. No matter your age or background, I will meet you where you are. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and empowered. Together, we’ll identify your strengths and use them to help you grow, heal, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life—for yourself and your family.
First session
In our first session we will go over what brought you to counseling, relevant history, and what you hope to achieve. We will then develop a plan together using your individual strengths and resources.
Strengths
My greatest strenghts are allowing you to be who you are, meeting you where you are, and working with your greatest strengths to create a plan that will work best for you.
Ideal clients
Are you struggling in life, anxiety, depression, adjustment? Are you needing support through a specific time or needing to process a past trauma? I meet my clients where they are and assist them in creating and maintaining stability.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been utilizing CBT with adolescents and adults for about 7 years. It is applicable to many different situations including anxiety, depression, and adjustment. Together we will identify any thinking errors and work on replacing them with healthy ways of thinking and coping skills.
Play Therapy
I have been utilizing play therapy for about 6 years. Play therapy helps children express and work through their thoughts and feelings using play. Parent input and involvement is vital throughout this process in working towards a healthier child and improved parent/child relationship. Using what you already have at home we will use play during sessions to allow your child to express and work through thoughts and feelings.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma is unique to each person. Together we will discuss how your trauma impacts you and your day to day life. We will use your strengths and resources to help you have a healthier day to day life.
