Christy Crane, LPC

Christy Crane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Missouri who combines a background in both family and marriage counseling with broader professional counseling training. She has eight years of experience working in a variety of clinical environments, including private practice, outpatient community mental health settings, and inpatient work as a psychiatric technician. Over the course of her career she has supported children, adolescents, families, couples, individuals, and groups, addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges, life transitions, OCD, ADHD, anger management, grief, and personality disorders.

Her therapeutic style is warm and genuine, rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She emphasizes collaboration rather than control, offering recommendations while keeping clients in the driver’s seat so they can make the choices that lead to meaningful change. She views lasting improvement as the outcome of a client’s own decisions and efforts, and she structures sessions to support that active work.

Christy tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs, drawing on approaches that include cognitive-behavioral methods, narrative techniques, EMDR, DBT, and trauma-informed practices. She aims to empower people as they take the courageous steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life and stands ready to provide guidance and support throughout that process.
