About Crystal
Crystal is not accepting new clients.
Crystal began her counseling career in 2015 at ECU Pediatric Specialty Care, where she provided support to individuals navigating chronic medical conditions. In October 2021, she stepped out in faith and opened Carolina Counseling. What began as a small seed has grown into a thriving practice that continues to exceed anything she ever imagined God would build.
Crystal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina. She earned her Bachelor of Social Work from The Ohio State University in 2006 and her Master of Social Work from The University of North Dakota in 2011.
Crystal is passionate about walking alongside individuals who are struggling and helping them shift both their mindset and circumstance. Her style is warm, direct, and deeply relational, meeting people exactly where they are. Her clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, family relational challenges, adjustment disorders, and life transitions. She primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Crystal is especially passionate about integrating a spiritual perspective into her work and reminding people of the truth of who God says they are.
Outside the office, Crystal enjoys spending time with her husband and their three children. She has been a member of Covenant Church for nearly two decades and serves in the children’s ministry. At the heart of her work is a commitment to point people back to God’s truth while walking with them through real‑life challenges.
What clients say about Crystal
“Carolina Counseling is an amazing group of professionals serving our community in a huge way. I have known Crystal professionally for several years and have referred several patients to her for ongoing therapy. She always goes above and beyond to help her clients feel comfortable. They can help with coping skills, manage emotions, thoughts, facing fears, and so much more. I would recommend Carolina Counseling to anyone in need of these service.”
“I cannot say enough good things about this agency! I have known Crystal and several of the therapists in her employ professionally for years now and have zero hesitation referring clients their way. My confidence comes from many factors, to start, the level of professionalism exhibited by all staff is remarkable. They clearly understand what it means to serve a population seeking assistance with matters that tend to be very sensitive and private. Next, their level of training and expertise is deep and diverse aiding their ability to assist in many domains. However, most important to me is the type of care given to their clients which is beyond refute. They ensure that their clients feel seen, heard, understood, and respected and that they receive the treatment that best meets their needs and that speaks volumes.”
