About Chrystal

Chrystal Westbrook is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps individuals and couples build practical skills for everyday life. She focuses on restoring healthy communication and trust in relationships, and she works with partners to address intimacy concerns so relationships can feel more connected and resilient. Her work includes addressing sexual dysfunction, desire and intimacy challenges, body image concerns, and the impacts of chronic pain or illness on sexual wellbeing.

In her clinical practice in Michigan, Chrystal has supported people facing anxiety, depression, stress-related problems, domestic violence, and sexual trauma. She also works with issues such as addictions, grief, parenting difficulties, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and challenges experienced by LGBT clients. Additional focus areas include kink and alternative sex culture, blended family dynamics, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, gender dysphoria, and veteran and armed forces issues.

Chrystal provides a warm, supportive, and judgment-free environment where people can safely explore difficult topics. She uses evidence-informed techniques and tailors her approach to the needs of each individual or couple, drawing on models such as Cognitive Behavioral approaches, mindfulness practices, Imago and solution-focused ideas, the Good-Enough Sex Model, and psychodynamic perspectives. By reaching out, people take a first step toward discovering practical tools to cope and create meaningful change in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or emotions arise - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports couples in deepening emotional connection and repairing attachment injuries by helping partners understand and respond to each other’s needs.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Chrystal collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and situation. She works with clients and partners to adapt techniques so therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in these approaches, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to access licensed professionals and therapists from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care across locations, making it easier to prioritize mental health and relationship work.
