About Krystal
Krystal Laday is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and depression. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, substance use concerns, trauma, grief, and career or life transitions. Krystal uses straightforward language and practical steps in sessions to help people move forward.
She brings seven years of experience working in hospitals and outpatient mental health settings. That background includes grief counseling and supporting people with co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns.
Background and approach
She has worked with both adults and children in clinic settings and knows how overwhelming change can feel. Krystal’s style is direct and welcoming. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly and take action.
She encourages clients to try things between sessions and to bring questions and feedback about what’s working. In practice she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to identify unhelpful patterns and build realistic goals. She also uses Client-Centered and Mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and reactions without judgment.
Sessions are shaped to fit each person rather than following a rigid plan. People seeking support for anger, coping skills, parenting stress, or relationship and communication problems can expect practical tools and collaborative planning. Krystal prioritizes clear steps, teachable skills, and follow-through so people can make steady progress toward the changes they want.

How Krystal Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with warmth and respect. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what’s said, and helps people clarify their own goals and values - useful for building motivation and self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, anger, and mood symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change. It uses guided questions and gentle reflection to strengthen personal reasons for change and to set realistic next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match the client’s goals, and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process built around the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video calls let people use body language and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflections, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats help make counseling more flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
