Crisinda Tackett , LPCC

Crisinda Tackett is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and parenting challenges. Her approach is straightforward and people-centered, aimed at helping clients find clearer steps forward.

She draws on a range of methods to match what a person needs. Crisinda listens first and works to build a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. From there she and the client set small, achievable goals and try simple strategies that fit daily life.

Her background includes about 15 years working in school counseling, where she supported adolescents and addressed issues that included alcohol and drug addiction. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric issues.

Crisinda often helps people who are dealing with family of origin problems, codependency, communication struggles, control and commitment worries, divorce or separation, and the guilt and shame that come with loss. She also offers coaching-style support for people looking for practical behavior changes and clearer decision making.

Sessions tend to focus on what a person wants to change now and what small steps they can take next. Crisinda aims to walk alongside clients through difficult seasons and to help them build more manageable routines and ways of relating at home and work.

Therapeutic tools that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. CBT is often used for communication issues, mood shifts, and coping with stress. Motivational Interviewing is a short, goal-focused way to help people find their own reasons to change and to build commitment for next steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Crisinda will talk with each person about their goals, try a few techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and exploration, skill-building with CBT, or brief motivation-focused work.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and caregiving responsibilities while using approaches that translate well to remote care.
