About Krista
Krista Croyle is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, anger, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with communication problems, co-morbidity, and self-worth struggles. Her tone is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at people who want clear, practical help.
She draws on approaches that focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions are interactive and built around the person in front of her, not a one-size plan.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct but respectful, aimed at identifying small changes that make life easier. Krista combines cognitive behavioral methods with client-centered and solution-focused ideas. She uses dialectical skills and motivational interviewing when a client needs help with difficult emotions or shifting habits.
The result is a mixed approach tailored to each person’s needs rather than a fixed program. Her background includes five years working in addiction and mental health settings. That experience informs how she helps people tackle drug and alcohol concerns and other overlapping issues.
She emphasizes practical skills for coping and clearer communication. People who reach out can expect collaborative planning, goal-oriented sessions, and straightforward suggestions to try between meetings. Krista frames change as a step-by-step process and supports clients as they test what works for them.

Approaches that fit online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead to build trust and set goals; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood, and it provides concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense emotions and helps people build steadier coping habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean focusing on skills in one period and shifting to problem-solving or motivational strategies later on.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and texting are useful for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility so people can keep progress going in ways that work with their day.
