About Crystal Rischer

Crystal Rischer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who brings both professional training and personal insight to her work. With six years of clinical experience, she supports adults and families navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, depression, relationship and family issues, anger, and life transitions. Her practice also focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, blended family dynamics, communication and control challenges, forgiveness, and the impacts of infidelity and separation.

Drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches, Crystal tailors each plan to the individual - recognizing that no two people respond to the same methods. She integrates evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive and emotionally focused strategies, relationship-centered methods, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address emotional patterns and build practical coping skills. As a divorced single mother, she combines lived experience with clinical perspective to relate to clients facing relationship change, parenting questions, and the complexities of rebuilding after loss.

Initial work begins with two brief forms - a HIPAA form and an intake questionnaire - designed to create a clear, holistic picture of a client s needs and goals. Crystal emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify strengths and set realistic steps toward meaningful change. She looks forward to meeting clients and partnering with them to move closer to the life they want.

Approaches for Online Healing and Relationship Work

Crystal combines practical, goal-oriented methods with approaches that strengthen emotional bonds to address the concerns clients bring to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replaces them with more constructive ways of thinking and behaving - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships so partners and family members can connect more securely and resolve recurring conflicts. The Gottman Method provides structured tools and exercises to improve communication, rebuild trust, and manage conflict in couples and family relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Crystal works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adjusts strategies as therapy progresses to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that format fits their schedule. These options make therapy more accessible for busy lives, for those caring for family, and for people who prefer the convenience of remote sessions while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
