Crystal Richardson

I am a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing outpatient counseling for adults and families. I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, burnout, and major life transitions, and I offer a calm, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges and build practical coping skills. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in meeting clients where they are. Before entering clinical practice, I spent 17 years working with individuals who are Deaf, DeafBlind, blind, and those with multiple disabilities. This background strongly informs how I adapt therapy to support communication differences, sensory needs, and diverse learning styles—allowing counseling to feel accessible, respectful, and effective. I have also provided mental health counseling in correctional settings, working with adults facing complex trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, substance use concerns, and significant life stressors. This experience allows me to support clients who may feel overwhelmed, guarded, or unsure how to begin therapy. I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and provide Deaf-affirming and disability-affirming counseling. Sessions are individualized and may include structured approaches, visual supports, and concrete language as appropriate, with a focus on practical tools, emotional safety, and meaningful change.
