About Crystal
Crystal Dungan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also works with clients facing caregiver strain, blended family challenges, first responder and veteran-related concerns, and career or life-purpose questions.
She began her career at a psychiatric hospital. There she worked with adults, military and veterans, seniors with behavioral needs, rehabilitation services, and youth. That early work introduced a wide range of challenges and ways to support people through intense times.
Crystal uses straightforward, conversation-style sessions. She keeps a relaxed tone while keeping professional boundaries. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on noticing patterns that make stress and conflict worse.
Her clinical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, the Gottman Method for relationship work, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to develop concrete strategies for common problems like anxiety, anger, infidelity, and codependency.
People who choose her work with someone aiming for clear, actionable tools. She often focuses on short-term, solution-oriented work for specific problems. To begin, clients complete a brief questionnaire and then schedule a first session to set goals and priorities.
How her approaches and online work fit together
Crystal commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. CBT is practical and focuses on changing patterns that keep anxiety, anger, or low mood active.She also uses client-centered approaches that involve listening and building a steady working relationship. For relationship concerns she employs elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and trust in partnerships.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match goals, needs, and preferences to specific techniques. That might mean a short series of focused CBT sessions, relationship work using Gottman tools, or practicing mindfulness strategies between meetings.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the source details. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, such as using a shorter check-in during a lunch break or choosing an audio call when bandwidth is limited. The focus remains on practical skills and making therapy usable in everyday routines.
