About Crystal
Crystal Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, parenting, anger, depression, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Her background includes a person-centered approach that sees the client as the expert in their own life. She combines that orientation with practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on mindfulness strategies and motivational interviewing when these fit a person's goals.
In sessions she focuses on clear steps people can use between meetings. That might include testing a different way of thinking, practicing a new routine, or using short mindfulness exercises to reduce agitation. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making small, usable changes that build over time.
Crystal pays attention to communication patterns and relationship dynamics when those are part of a problem. She also works on emotion regulation skills for anger, grief, and trauma reactions, and on practical strategies for workplace stress and addiction-related challenges.
To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
CBT, ACT and client-centered approaches for remote care
Crystal uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns of thinking that keep problems in place and then practice different responses. CBT focuses on clear steps and experiments people can try between sessions to change thoughts and habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach too, which emphasizes listening and following the client’s priorities while offering guidance when requested. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Crystal will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, ACT, or a more client-led style best fits their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques based on progress and what the client feels comfortable trying. Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter phone check-in if that suits the week. Many people appreciate being able to meet without rearranging their day, while still working on practical behavior and thinking changes with a licensed professional.Areas of expertise
