Crystal Forget, LCSW, CSW

Crystal Forget is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, skills-based therapy. She meets people where they are and helps them learn tools to manage anxiety, stress, mood shifts, and the effects of trauma. Crystal writes plainly and keeps sessions straightforward so busy people can use what they learn right away.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take small steps toward them. Sessions often include skill practice, gentle reflection, and concrete next steps between meetings.

Crystal has three years of clinical experience working in Colorado settings. Her work has centered on addictions, relationship strain, depression, and post-traumatic stress. She pays attention to issues like attachment, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation so those areas do not get ignored in session.

In couples work she helps partners rebuild communication, repair intimacy, and set clearer boundaries. Her style is collaborative and direct - she offers models and then coaches people as they try new behaviors with real-life feedback.

People who come for help can expect sessions that balance support with clear strategies. Crystal uses accessible language and stepwise plans rather than long explanations. The goal is steadier mood, clearer choices, and better daily functioning.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Crystal blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts, clarifying personal values, and taking meaningful action even when feelings are hard.

She also uses client-centered principles to keep the work grounded in what matters to the person in front of her. That means therapy is a shared process: the therapist and client talk about goals, try approaches, and adjust what they do together based on what helps most.

Online therapy here is built to fit real life. Video calls are used for full sessions when visual cues matter and a longer conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching moments, or ongoing skills practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on goals from wherever a person is most comfortable.
