About Krista

Krista Croyle is an Ohio-licensed clinical social worker (LISW) who brings five years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family struggles, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She has worked with individuals experiencing co-morbidity, communication problems, and drug and alcohol addiction, drawing on a blend of practical strategies and empathic listening to address each person's needs. Her style is described as warm and interactive, focused on respect and sensitivity without stigmatizing labels.

Krista integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered, dialectical behavior, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to shape treatment around the client. She prioritizes tailoring conversations and plans so interventions are relevant and achievable for each person.

Krista encourages clients to take the first step toward change and offers support aimed at empowerment and clearer coping. She practices in Ohio, provides care in English, and emphasizes collaboration to help clients move toward more fulfilling and manageable daily life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Krista frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for strong emotional reactions and relationship challenges. She also employs client-centered methods that prioritize empathic listening and collaboration to help clients feel heard and involved in planning their goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Krista works with each person to figure out which combination of techniques best matches their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to therapy, adjusting methods as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access for different lifestyles. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and stay connected when in-person visits are impractical, while allowing licensed professionals to apply CBT, DBT, and client-centered strategies effectively across formats.
