About Crisinda

Crisinda Tackett is an Ohio-licensed LPCC with two decades of clinical and counseling experience focused on helping people navigate relationship strains, family conflicts, parenting challenges, grief, and coaching needs.

Background and approach

She brings a background that includes 15 years of school counseling, where she supported adolescents and families and addressed alcohol and drug addiction concerns, and she works with clients to explore practical solutions and emotional recovery. Her style emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere that encourages honest sharing of thoughts and feelings.

She integrates Internal Family Systems ideas alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify internal parts, reframe unhelpful patterns, and build clearer communication. Crisinda also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods when clients are working on change goals or navigating transitions.

Across adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and other family-of-origin or life-stage issues, she aims to walk alongside clients as they sort through complex emotions and make purposeful choices. Her experience in executive coaching and school-based settings informs a practical, strengths-oriented approach to therapy and brief interventions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Internal Family Systems helps clients identify and dialogue with the different parts of themselves that hold emotions, beliefs, or roles. This approach can be useful for people wrestling with internal conflict, intense shame or guilt, and patterns that repeat in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance, and meeting clients where they are, creating space for personal insight and trusted self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical strategies to reduce distress and build coping skills, which can be helpful for issues like communication problems, impulsivity, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, review concerns, and tailor techniques from Internal Family Systems, client-centered work, CBT, or other methods to fit each person’s needs and preferences rather than applying a single method uniformly.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during busy seasons, manage caregiving or work demands, and access consistent support from a licensed professional without being limited by location.
