01About Crystal
Crystal Dungan is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice in Texas. She earned a master's degree in Community Counseling from Webster University and began her career in a psychiatric hospital setting. That early work exposed her to many kinds of concerns and to people from varied backgrounds.
Crystal aims to make sessions feel relaxed and conversational. She keeps professional boundaries while creating a calm space that reduces the worry people often feel before starting therapy.
Background and approach
Her manner is approachable and down-to-earth. She uses practical, goal-focused strategies when they fit the situation. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy are paired with mindfulness skills to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs support finding reasons to change. Crystal also draws on client-centered principles, listening carefully and shaping the work around each person's priorities. For relationship concerns she uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and connection.
Sessions move at a pace set by the person in therapy. Her background includes work with adults who have stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She has experience supporting people with caregiver stress, blended family challenges, attachment concerns, and the effects of military service.
Crystal adapts her approach to meet practical goals and helps people build skills they can use outside sessions.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Crystal combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit online formats. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and follows the person's priorities, which helps shape goals whether sessions are by video or text. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and trying practical changes, a method that works well with homework and short check-ins between appointments.She also uses the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work when that is relevant. That approach breaks communication into concrete skills and exercises couples can practice between sessions, making it easy to apply over video calls or phone sessions. Choosing the best approach is a joint process - she collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats in her practice include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are helpful for real-time thought tracking and brief support between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
