About Crystal
Crystal De Kam is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with eight years of experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, sleep problems, career concerns, and mood challenges like depression and bipolar disorder. Crystal aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to begin working on change.
She uses a conversational style and adapts sessions to each person’s situation. Practical steps and short-term goals are common in her work.
Background and approach
She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help with grounding and managing worry. Crystal draws on client-centered methods that let people lead the conversation while she listens and reflects. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, achievable changes that build momentum.
Her approach is straightforward and geared toward helping people find what works for them. She also supports people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, postpartum concerns, life-purpose questions, and compassion fatigue. Crystal includes attention to relationship stress, parenting strain, and identity-related concerns for LGBT clients when relevant to an individual's needs.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The therapist asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Approaches that guide online work and practical care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflecting feelings and priorities so people feel heard and can make their own choices about change.Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce stress and manage racing thoughts. These practices can help with anxiety, sleep trouble, and coping when emotions feel overwhelming.
Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps. Sessions focus on identifying what is already working and building short-term goals to create forward momentum.
Deciding which approach fits best is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming one path up front. Clients and the therapist check in together and adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full-session conversation, phone can be lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into workdays, manage caregiving schedules, or continue care while traveling.
