Chrystal Westbrook , LPC

Chrystal Westbrook helps individuals and couples develop a practical toolbox of skills and techniques they can use in everyday life. She practices as a licensed counselor and as a sex therapist, and she holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. In Michigan over the last 10 years she has worked with a wide range of concerns that affect emotional and mental health.

She focuses on relationship repair and communication, helping couples rebuild trust and speak more effectively about needs and boundaries. As a sex therapist she addresses sexual dysfunction, desire and intimacy concerns, body image, and the effects of chronic pain or illness on sexual wellbeing. Her work with individuals also covers anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems, along with issues related to domestic violence and sexual trauma.

Chrystal offers a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult topics. She uses clinically tested, evidence-based techniques and adapts her approach to fit the needs of each person or couple. Her practice integrates methods such as Cognitive Behavioral approaches, mindfulness practices, Imago and solution-focused ideas, the Good-Enough Sex Model, and psychodynamic perspectives. She encourages those who have reached out to take the next step toward finding tools that support meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Chrystal Westbrook draws on approaches that translate well to remote work, beginning with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this by teaching skills for noticing difficult thoughts and emotions while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, non-directive stance in which the therapist supports the client’s own insights and strengths to foster growth and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chrystal collaborates with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and access from home or other locations. Sessions may take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the format that best matches their comfort and lifestyle. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain consistent care and apply skills in real-life situations between sessions.
