Crystal Dungan, LPC

Crystal Dungan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 10 years of experience. She holds a master’s in Community Counseling from Webster University. She has worked in psychiatric settings and with military and veteran populations, and now focuses on short-term, solution-based counseling for individuals and couples.

Crystal’s manner is relaxed and conversational. She keeps professional boundaries but aims to reduce the nervousness people often feel about starting counseling. Sessions are intended to feel like a frank conversation where practical steps are discussed.

She often addresses stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, self-esteem, depression, and issues related to addiction and grief. She also works with topics such as parenting strain, intimacy concerns, blended family problems, caregiver stress, forgiveness, infidelity, jealousy, and career questions. Military and veteran issues are included among her experience.

Crystal uses approaches that help people make changes in day-to-day life. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client’s perspective. She employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. The Gottman Method is used when relationship skills are the focus.

Her sessions mix practical problem-solving with mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support short-term goals. People who want concrete tools for anger and relationship strain may find this direct, flexible style useful. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
