Krista Croyle

Krista Croyle is a licensed independent social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, anger, and major life changes. She draws on five years of clinical experience to support practical steps forward. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping skills. Krista practices with a warm, interactive style. She treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions focus on clear goals, honest conversation, and coping strategies that fit each person’s life. She uses a mix of methods to guide work on problems like communication difficulties, drug and alcohol concerns, co-morbid conditions, and low self-worth. Cognitive tools help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts. Skills from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing can support emotion regulation and motivation for change. Krista also draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep therapy practical and goal oriented. Together with each person she tailors the plan and adjusts techniques as progress is made. She emphasizes building self-compassion and realistic steps toward change. Her background includes practice with people who have experienced incarceration and those navigating parenting and relationship stress. Krista holds an Ohio LISW, which is noted here as the credential she uses in practice. Sessions are offered in English, and international clients are not accepted.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring the conversation to each person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what’s said, and helps people clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small, practical experiments to change feelings and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership means techniques can be adjusted over time as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered for this therapist, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time, helping people stay consistent with their plan.
