About Crisinda

Crisinda Tackett is a licensed professional counselor clinical (LPCC) in Ohio who focuses on helping families and parents navigate difficult transitions. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each family. Parents worried about behavior, school struggles, or grief will find practical conversation and steady support.

She also offers coaching for leaders who need clearer direction at work. With 20 years of experience, Crisinda draws on work in schools and community settings.

Background and approach

Much of her background comes from 15 years as a school counselor supporting adolescents and their families. That time included addressing alcohol and drug concerns, as well as behavior and communication challenges. Her approach centers on the person in front of her.

She creates space for honest talk and helps families try small, doable changes. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy help with thoughts and habits, and solution-focused methods steer sessions toward quick, practical steps. She also uses client-centered listening to make people feel heard, and internal family systems ideas to look at different parts of a person or family story.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change, especially around substance use or habits. Crisinda aims to partner with parents and caregivers, not lecture them. Conversations are calm and direct, focused on what a family can try this week.

She grounds guidance in real-world experience rather than theory alone.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Client-centered therapy centers conversations on the family's needs and perspective. It focuses on listening, understanding, and building trust so parents and children can speak honestly and make practical changes together.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It helps with anxiety, grief, parenting stress, and habits by teaching simple skills to reframe thoughts and try new routines.

Motivational interviewing is a short, respectful way to help someone find their own reasons to change. It is useful when a family member is uncertain about addressing substance use, behavior patterns, or other stuck issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk with each family about goals, preferences, and what feels realistic, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the process.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins and follow-up. These options make it easier to balance school, work, and caregiving while maintaining steady support.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
