What Keith says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I’m Keith Crosby, a licensed professional counselor. My work is grounded in empathy, perseverance, and a deep belief in people’s ability to grow, even in life’s hardest seasons. My path to becoming a counselor wasn’t easy. I earned my graduate degree while working two jobs, driven by a calling to support others through their own storms. Today, I work long days not just to sustain my practice, but to be present for my family-something I value deeply. There have been moments when I’ve questioned my impact, felt the weight of financial pressures, and wrestled with self-doubt. But I’ve learned that being a good counselor doesn’t mean being perfect-it means being present, honest, and human. I bring that same perspective to every session, offering a safe space for people to explore their challenges and rediscover their strength. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, major life transitions, or simply trying to find your way through the storm, I’m here to walk alongside you. I also provide faith-based counseling when clients request it. If you do not see a time slot that works for you please message me and I will do my best to accomodate you

03 · How Keith works

The 2 approaches Keith lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Keith lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Keith's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Keith runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Keith practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Keith's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Keith at this point.

2. Naming Keith specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Keith is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Keith.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Keith

Built from what Keith actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Keith's - Keith has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Keith's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Keith. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
