About Crystal
Crystal Suetholz, LPCC, holds licenses to practice in Ohio and Kentucky and has 12 years of experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, trauma and family concerns. She also works with LGBT clients and people exploring gender dysphoria, kink and alternative sex culture, and questions about life purpose and career.
Crystal uses a mix of practical talk and evidence-informed techniques. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic work, and elements of the Gottman Method when addressing relationship concerns. Sessions focus on clarifying goals, learning new skills, and improving communication.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. She helps clients break down problems into manageable steps. That can mean learning ways to reduce worry, changing unhelpful thinking, improving intimacy, or making decisions during life transitions.
Crystal has worked with people affected by addiction, first responder stress, blended family challenges, and divorce or separation. She also supports concerns like body image, commitment issues, infidelity, and family of origin problems. Work with grief and forgiveness is part of her practice as well.
Practical matters are discussed early in care. She uses assessment and goal-setting to shape treatment. Clients are invited to track progress and adjust approaches as needed. The focus is on skills that fit each person’s daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Crystal commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and practical coping skills training.She also works with elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work. That approach focuses on communication skills, managing conflict, and rebuilding trust in partnerships.
Mindfulness Therapy is part of her toolkit for stress reduction and emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices help people notice reactions and choose responses more intentionally.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often use remote appointments to keep regular momentum between in-person visits or when attending in person is difficult.
