Hello!
I am a Clinical Professional Counselor, licensed in Nevada. I specialize in trauma and abuse recovery, anxiety, depression, and anger management. Additionally, I am skilled in helping individuals who are struggling with relationship issues, work/employment issues, chronic physical health issues, aging-related problems, and faith-based needs.

I use a "person-centered" approach, meaning I see my clients as whole beings that already hold the answers they need. It is my job to help my clients discover their answers and make choices they believe will be best for them. It is my belief that I can only accomplish that by first meeting my clients exactly where they are, with no judgement. I am deeply honored to be in a position of helping to hold my clients' pain while creating a safe place for my clients to explore their needs, shed old labels, heal old wounds, and create new paths.

I began my journey as a Life Coach in 2000, where I focused on helping people with goal mapping, professional and personal goal setting, workplace conflict resolution, and work/life balance. I deeply enjoyed this work, and wanted to do more, on a higher level. I returned to school after raising my children so I could focus on obtaining my degrees in counseling related programs. I achieved a Bachelor's degree in Human Services Management, and followed that with completing my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Additionally, I hold certifications in trauma-based counseling therapy approaches.

I have enjoyed serving my community in various roles including teaching classes on healthy boundaries, anger management, and how to help others through faith based coaching. I have led trauma recovery groups, substance abuse recovery groups, and faith based growth groups.

I look forward to partnering with you in your healing or growth journey!

Krista is great. I have been with her for 2 weeks now and I have learned so much and feel like I’m making some progress already. I’m very happy I decided to finally do therapy and that I was matched with Krista.

 Mar 24, 2022 by T.Y. 
She's awesome!

 Mar 18, 2022 by J.U. 
Krista really listens and takes the time to understand your concerns. Thank you for always being patient and for helping me along my healing journey. Thank you for providing examples that I can relate to as well as homework to help me heal in a healthy way. I really appreciate all of your help along my journey of healing.

Krista has been very warm and supportive. She makes me feel understood and validates my concerns and emotions. She has given me things to work on that are very helpful. So glad I found her!

 Feb 28, 2022 by M.A. 
Krista is very helpful and engaged, and works with me to help find practical solutions.

 Feb 17, 2022 by M.I. 
She keeps me positive and gives me the strength to want to do better

 Feb 02, 2022 by B.A. 
I always learn something new. I feel safe talking to her. She is always patient, kind, wise and is valuable to me

 Jan 20, 2022 by E.D. 
This has been, literally, the best thing I've done in my life. Going through a tough divorce, I needed to have reassurment that what I felt was ok and what I saw happening was trully happening and why. In mental illness and just need to talk areas, we just need to know why. Why is what we don't know...... thank you for sharing why.

 Nov 24, 2021 by B.R. 
She is fabulous. She did In a 30 minute session what not other therapist did for me in 10 years! Powerful and caring therapist!!

 Nov 11, 2021 by D.I. 
She is great listener and excellent therapist. Provides excellent weekly advice on stress, sleep, and other topics.

 Oct 25, 2021 by C.H. 
This is my first time trying out therapy and I got matched with Krista. I was scared and didn't know what I was doing but Krista was able to help guide me with worksheets that she provided. She would assign assigments to me that was tailored to my specific needs and those activities did help put things in a different perspective. She's caring and doesn't judge. She responds to messages as soon as she can. If she can't respond, she would let me know the time frame. I definitely recommend her and I'm very glad she was matched with me first.

 Oct 12, 2021 by N.I. 
She is the real deal! She has every quality you could ever want in a dream therapist. Communicative, kind, compassionate, understanding, offers a unique interpersonal perspective, empathetic, and truly cares about you and your success in your mental health journey. She doesn't judge, and doesn't want you to judge yourself either. She has really been a breath of fresh air for me. Sometimes I'm ramble on and on about what's bothering me, even if it doesn't relate to the topic, and she always comes back with something kind and puts her unique perspective on what you said. I am so thankful I was matched with her on BetterHelp.

 Apr 17, 2021 by J.E. 
Krista is practical and adept at getting to the heart of my issues quickly. She is gifted at finding solutions and resources. Her spiritual background is a Godsend; she accepts my worldview and points me in directions that strengthen my faith and my healing process.

 Mar 21, 2021 by J.E. 
Krista Lacroix has been very helpful in helping me with my issues such as anger, depression and addiction. Her insights and knowledge has been very beneficial in helping me to lead a more productive life.

 Feb 08, 2021 by R.O. 
Krista is great!

 Jan 19, 2021 by V.I. 
I've been working with Krista for a few weeks now and I am absolutely, terrifically thankful that she was assigned to me. From our first few exchanges I felt that not only was she listening to me, but she was engaging me with thought-provoking questions and ideas I never thought of. I feel better after talking with her, I feel better after reading her responses, and overall I feel better equipped to deal with some of the curveballs life is throwing my way!

 Jan 16, 2021 by A.N. 
Barely getting to know her, but love what she has provided within the weeks of getting to know her.

 Jan 11, 2021 by M.I. 
Krista Lacroix has been extremely helpful navigating me through my grief. She helps me make since of the feelings I fail to understand while offering effective coping strategies. Krista responds to my messages in a timely manner and provides valuable feedback regarding my journal entries.

 Dec 29, 2020 by M.A. 
Demonstrates attention to my issues and offers direction based on my specific needs.

 Dec 28, 2020 by S.Y. 
Krista has been an amazing help! It’s only been a few weeks and I feel like I have a better understanding of where I am struggling and have started working in these areas.

 Dec 18, 2020 by E.R. 
I feel really comfortable and as my first experience with therapy, she has been great. She doesn't make me feel judged but also doesnt side with me or tell me what i should do. She gives suggestions and acknowledges me in a way where i feel heard and can view things in more than one perspective but know when it is ok for me to set boundaries or feel how i do. It has been very good for me and been a great as a support system in my growth as an individual.

 Sep 17, 2020 by E.M. 
Great

 Aug 27, 2020 by J.A. 
She’s really kind and open, she gives a lot of helpful tips and helpful resources as well! I would recommend her :)

 Aug 25, 2020 by M.I. 
I've been working with Krista for just a few weeks and she has helped me in areas including anxiety, perfectionism, workaholism and co-dependency. She's been very supportive in providing resources and strategies for building a strong and healthy relationship with myself.

 Aug 20, 2020 by L.A. 
She’s great

 Aug 12, 2020 by K.R. 
Always prompt responses. Multiple ways to communicate. Knowledgeable responses. Calm while I repeat some of the same things over and over. Helpful. Insightful.

 Jul 21, 2020 by B.O. 
Krista and I have not discussed other means of communication. I told her, early on, that texting works well for me as it gives me time to process my thoughts and her responses. I am very pleased with how quickly she was able to identify my needs and set me on a path to recovery. I’m so very grateful!

 Jul 20, 2020 by H.E. 
She’s great!

 Jul 20, 2020 by M.A. 
Krista Lacroix was very nice.

 Jun 27, 2020 by B.R. 
Very Knowledgeable, Kind, and transparent. As an Afro American Woman I was unsure if she would understand my issues and as a military person I was hesitant as well. She is very knowledgeable and understanding highly recommended her!

 Apr 18, 2020 by S.U. 
Krista Lacroix was very kind and makes you feel at ease. She makes you feel safe about talking to her about your concerns. She's an angel!

 Mar 16, 2020 by S.A. 
Krista is wonderful, very sweet, and thorough. She offers practical solutions and additional resources.

 Mar 12, 2020 by A.N. 
When I first began talk-therapy with Krista Lacroix I was in a really bad place. I bottled up so much things for years that I finally thought I was going to shatter. Krista Lacroix listened to me and gave me great advice, she's helping me out every day. Krista Lacroix I am grateful to you and thank you from the bottom of my heart!

 Feb 22, 2020 by M.A. 
Krista honestly has been very helpful and insightful. She has given me a bunch if information to look at for anger management and addiction and has also informed me of services that can help with my addiction issues. I think she is absolutely wonderful.

 Feb 21, 2020 by T.A. 
I believe that Dr. Krista Lacroix is the actual angel God destined to speak to my heart during this time in my life. I don’t think she was miscellaneously assigned to me just because she had an open time slot. There is something accurate and genius about the algorithm and personal care that is used by BetterHelp to help connect people. I have grown so much and healed quite a bit too since I signed up and showed up ready to be vulnerable and consistent.

 Feb 20, 2020 by J.E. 
Krista makes me feel heard, and supports what I need, when I need it. She is a good example of healthy boundaries and gives perspective and counsel in areas I am not strong in.

 Feb 19, 2020 by H.A. 
Krista has been extremely helpful in educating me about depression and stress and how to navigate these challenges with my partner. She provides very specific feedback and resources. She has allowed me to come to my own conclusions while also stepping in with explicit advice at key times. Krista is prompt with messaging throughout the week between phone/video/chat sessions. Her expertise in and passion for counseling shines!

 Feb 18, 2020 by K.I. 
Krista has been helpful in guiding me with my issues. Sometimes I'm not quite ready to do the work and need more counseling or perhaps I need to understand why I may behave in certain ways and I haven't always felt like I get that need addressed. I feel like if I understood why I behave in certain ways, I could more easily do the work necessary.
