Krista Croyle, LISW

Krista Croyle is a licensed independent social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship struggles. She uses a respectful, nonjudgmental way of working and focuses on practical steps that can change day-to-day life. She aims to make conversations feel safe and straightforward for people who are tired or overwhelmed.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can be done next. She listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps clients set small, achievable goals. Many conversations include skills people can use between sessions.

Krista draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered ideas, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape treatment. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when those fit a person’s goals. The mix is chosen to match the concern and the person’s way of working.

She has five years of experience as a psychocounselor and holds an Ohio LISW, which is a licensed independent social worker credential. That background informs how she guides people through issues like co-morbidity, communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

Krista works with people in Ohio and conducts sessions in English. She aims to help people build clearer communication, healthier habits, and more self-compassion. If someone wants a supportive, practical approach, she meets them where they are and helps plan steps forward.

How Krista’s approaches work online

Krista uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or substance use. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and builds specific skills to shift thinking and behavior.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which places the person’s experience at the center of the work. That means sessions focus on listening, empathy, and supporting the person’s own goals rather than forcing a set agenda.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas appear when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. DBT-based strategies teach concrete tools for managing strong feelings and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for richer interaction and skill practice, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can fit short check-ins or people who prefer typing, and all formats let sessions be scheduled around work, school, or caregiving duties.
