About Crystal
Crystal Dungan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She began her work in a psychiatric hospital and has since spent time supporting people across a range of settings, including care for military and veteran populations. Crystal aims to make sessions feel calm and conversational while keeping therapy focused and purposeful.
She prefers a relaxed style so clients can speak freely, like talking with a trusted listener.
Background and approach
At the same time she keeps clear professional boundaries and structures sessions so they move toward real goals. Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person's needs. Crystal helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, self-esteem struggles, and relationship concerns.
She also supports those facing grief, addictive behaviors, issues around intimacy, parenting stress, and career questions. Additional focuses include attachment concerns, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, codependency, and forgiveness work. Her work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and the Gottman Method principles.
Crystal uses these tools to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build new ways of coping. She favors short-term, solution-focused steps when that fits the person's goals. People who want straightforward, down-to-earth help often do well with her style.
She listens without judgment, offers practical strategies, and collaborates on a plan that fits the client’s life and priorities.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through feelings and make sense of what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and tests small experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, anger, and low mood. The Gottman Method brings practical tools for improving communication and reducing conflict in relationships by teaching skills people can practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Crystal will talk with each person about their goals, try different techniques, and tailor methods to what works best. The plan can change as progress is made, and she emphasizes short-term, practical steps when that fits the client's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, reminders, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit busy days and varied routines.
