About Krista

Krista Croyle is an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

She focuses on straightforward, practical conversations. Sessions often look at current problems, everyday habits, and what keeps cycles going. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking and tries different ways of responding to difficult feelings and impulses.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas along with client-centered and skills-based strategies. That means she uses structured techniques to change thinking and behavior while listening for each person's priorities. She also brings motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps when someone wants to set short-term goals or reduce substance use.

Krista avoids labels that shame and keeps the work action-oriented. Typical visits include talking through recent stressors, practicing coping skills, and planning small experiments to test new responses. She aims to make sessions clear and task-focused so people can apply what they learn between meetings.

Her background includes work in addiction and mental health settings. People often seek her help for co-occurring problems such as substance use combined with mood or anxiety concerns. She asks about practical obstacles and communication problems and helps people build skills around self-love, boundary setting, and healthier routines.

How she uses CBT and skills work online

Krista commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered methods in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person's goals shape the process.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed, offering concrete tools for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive actions. These approaches are chosen to match the presenting problem and a client's preferences rather than applied automatically.

Finding the best fit for treatment is collaborative. She will discuss which methods might help, try practical techniques in sessions, and review what feels useful. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan together based on results and goals.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, errands, or caregiving by removing travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce the need to be on camera, or let someone choose a quieter time of day for a session. Ask about available formats when you schedule to match the approach to your routine.
