Crystal Prancevic, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Crystal!

I work with adults and specialize in addiction, anxiety, depression, stress, and relational issues. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems to help my clients identify distortions in their thought patterns and acknowledge how their history affects their current behavior and thoughts.

My focus

I typically work with clients between the ages of 18 and 65 who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed. Often, my clients are also struggling with addiction as they have used drugs and alcohol to self-medicate the problem. I work with my clients to help them develop skills and manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

My approach

I believe identifying, acknowledging, and therapeutically challenging clients' cognitive schemas and distortions can help them better their lives. I believe it is important to acknowledge a client's history to note how it is still impacting a client's current behavior and thoughts.

My communication style

My goal as a therapist is to make therapy feel welcoming and engaging. I want to connect with my clients and offer them the space to feel comfortable, to be able to share anything in a judgment-free setting. I want my clients to look forward to therapy as a space for them to open up about anything and everything.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I've always enjoyed helping others by listening and understanding what drives them. Seeing people triumph is incredibly rewarding, and this work came naturally to me.

My goals for you

Goal setting is about what you're looking to achieve from therapy. We'll work together during our first few sessions to define what you're seeking, and together we'll set achievable goals.

Our first session

During our first session, you can expect most of our time discussing how you have been feeling recently, what has led up to this feeling, and where you would like to see yourself in the future—basically, describing current circumstances and what areas you would like to see a change.
