About Crystal
Crystal Dungan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with ten years of experience. She began her career in a psychiatric hospital and has worked across a range of settings. Crystal aims to make sessions feel calm and conversational so people can speak openly about what matters to them.
Her background includes work with adults and veterans in clinical settings, and she has provided short-term, solution-focused counseling in military contexts.
How Crystal works
That experience shaped a practical approach that leans toward real-world problem solving and clear steps forward. In sessions Crystal adapts to each person’s needs. She blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
She also uses motivational interviewing and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship concerns come up. People come to her for common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, parenting strain, grief, and issues with self-esteem or anger. She also supports those facing addiction, compassion fatigue, and work or career questions.
Crystal works with supplementary issues like attachment concerns, blended family challenges, codependency, divorce and separation, infidelity, and caregiver stress. Her style is relaxed but focused, aiming to help people find clearer choices and manageable next steps.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Crystal integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people move toward clearer goals. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and letting the person set the pace; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful responses; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Crystal will discuss what feels most useful and try different methods until a clear fit emerges. Together the person and therapist set goals and pick techniques that match needs, whether that means short-term skill-building or deeper relationship work.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options help make therapy fit around work, caregiving, and busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps forward.
