About Crystal
Crystal Forget is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado (LCSW) with three years of practice as a clinician. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and depression, and she lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
Crystal draws on therapies that help people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. She uses approaches that teach skills for handling strong emotions, improving relationships, and changing unhelpful patterns. Sessions are conversational and practical, with an emphasis on what the person wants to change.
She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify values and shift unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need tools to manage intense emotions. Emotion-focused and client-centered methods shape how conversations are held so people feel heard and understood.
Crystal has experience supporting people dealing with addiction challenges and with repairing intimate relationships. She also works with concerns such as attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety, and women’s issues.
Her sessions tend to focus on concrete skills and small, achievable steps. People who carry guilt or shame often leave sessions with clearer next steps for everyday life and ways to practice new behaviors between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps that match those values even when uncomfortable thoughts or guilt show up. It’s useful for decisions, meaning, and carrying on after shame or regret. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete exercises to test and change unhelpful thoughts and actions. It often helps with anxiety, mood, and repetitive guilt thoughts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides short practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive reactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit those needs. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel, and can reduce time spent commuting. Some formats require less bandwidth or allow shorter check-ins, which can help when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively at a distance while helping clients practice skills between sessions.
