Crisinda Tackett, LPCC

Crisinda Tackett is a licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and parenting challenges. She writes and talks plainly, and focuses on practical steps families and parents can try. Her style suits people who want direct support and clear next steps.

With 20 years of experience, she brings a long history of working in schools and community settings. Much of her past work involved school counseling with adolescents and their caregivers. That time gave her a lot of experience handling substance use concerns and behaviors that disrupt home or school life.

Her approach is collaborative. She creates space for clients to share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions often focus on problem solving, setting small goals, and practicing new ways of communicating at home.

Crisinda draws on multiple methods, including cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, client-centered listening to hear what matters most, and motivational interviewing to encourage movement when people feel stuck. She also uses solution-focused strategies and parts-based ideas from Internal Family Systems when they fit a person's goals.

Clients typically leave sessions with concrete actions to try between meetings. Crisinda emphasizes practical plans for parenting, grief coping, and relationship repair. She considers it a privilege to walk alongside people through difficult seasons and to work toward clearer routines and calmer interactions.

How Crisinda’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce stress and improve relationships. It often helps with parenting challenges, grief reactions, and patterns that keep conflict alive. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and understanding; the therapist reflects what matters to the person and follows their priorities to build trust and clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Crisinda will discuss goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit each situation. That decision is collaborative, and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when they want deeper interaction. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick exchanges, brief coaching, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
