LCSW, 7 years of experience
New to Grow
I’m Crystal DePietro, an LCSW who believes that everyone has the ability to grow and thrive with the right support. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused techniques to help clients build coping skills, increase self-awareness, and improve emotional well-being. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where lasting change can happen.
During our first meeting, we’ll focus on creating a safe and comfortable space where you can share your story at your own pace. I’ll listen carefully to understand what’s been weighing on you—whether it’s anxiety, grief, or relationship stress—and what you hope to gain from therapy. From there, we’ll begin shaping goals together and outline how our sessions can best support your healing and growth.
My therapeutic approach blends evidence-based techniques with a holistic understanding of each person’s unique story. I integrate tools from CBT, strengths-based, and person-centered therapies to help clients reduce anxiety, navigate grief, and improve relationships. I believe in empowering clients to recognize their resilience and use therapy as a space to rediscover balance, purpose, and self-compassion.
I work best with individuals navigating anxiety, grief, life changes, or relationship difficulties who are ready to gain clarity and take meaningful steps toward growth. My clients often seek to better manage emotions, improve communication, and strengthen personal boundaries. Through collaboration and evidence-based strategies, I help clients build confidence and develop tools for lasting emotional well-being.
Focus on building solutions instead of solving problem while learning to use positive attributes and behaviors to overcome situations
