Crystal R Williams
Hello, my name is Crystal Williams, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) as well as Licensed Social worker (LSW) in the state of Illinois. I have been a practicing clinician for over 15 years. My focus I clinical practice with Adult's seeking individual and/or couple's therapy for short term therapy. I have had clients from all different racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. I specialize in the following treatment conditions: Anxiety/ Panic Attacks, Stress management, Relationship issues, Parenting issues/ Parent/child issues, Self Esteem/Self-identity concerns, Communication/ Boundaries, Coping skills, LGBTQIA+, grief counseling etc. ***Currently only accepting clients for INDIVIDUAL therapy, unfortunately I am at capacity to accept new couples for couples therapy. I am No longer accepting cash session clients only blue cross and blue shield and Optum/ UHC insurance clients.
First session
The initial session we will walk through initial intake information in greater detail and begin to build rapport.
Strengths
The areas of practice which I have seen the most success with client's are stress management, anxiety management, reducing or eliminating anxiety attacks, improving self-esteem/confidence/feeling empowered, learning and adapting into their self-identity, and learning coping tools and emotional regulation. When practicing with couples I am able to help couples navigate communicating as a third person, but stay neutral and support both individuals equally. Lastly, educating/informing clients on diagnosis and explaining why their symptomology is relatable and working together as a team to learn better management or resolve certain issues.
Ideal clients
