I am trauma informed and knowledgeable in specific evidence based interventions such as ACT, DBT, CBT & others.
Hi! I'm Krystal Buchanan, a licensed professional counselor based in Milwaukee offering telehealth sessions for clients throughout the state of Wisconsin. I believe building a strong therapist- client relationship is the foundation of therapy. This relationship is rooted in non-judgmental views, unconditional positive regard and remembering that everyone is doing the best they can in life. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, as well as anxiety, OCD, and emotional dysregulation. Many of my clients spent years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or have been labeled as lazy, emotional, or “too much".

I am here to empathically support your therapeutic journey and when you feel comfortable, I will gently challenge your preconceptions about yourself and the world around you. This is where growth happens. I encourage you to bring your fullest self to sessions, whatever that may entail, ie. humor, colorful language, creativity, authenticity…and I will do the same.

From the outside, you’re doing well. You show up, take care of what needs to be done, and people rely on you. But underneath, it feels different. Everything takes more effort than it should. You’re tired in a way that rest doesn’t fix, and you find yourself wondering, “Why does this feel so hard?” You may have been told it’s anxiety, stress, or burnout. Sometimes it is. But for many women, there’s more beneath the surface—patterns that have gone unnoticed for years.

Though I want to make everyone's therapy experience unique to them, I do tend to gravitate toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems therapy.
Are work, life, or family situations making you feel anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed? Or is the past refusing to stay in the past? Then you just found your therapist! We can explore everything from daily struggles to the depths of soul together, and do so in a warm, accepting, positive, and non-judgmental space. I love hearing people's stories, and from these stories, I can help you close chapters and create new ones. Hello, my name is Jenica (like Jessica, but with an "n" instead of "ss") and I've been a therapist since Sept 1, 2011. I'm licensed in AL, WI, MD, DC, and DE, with my home base in Alabama currently.

On the surface you might seem fine, but inside, you’re carrying a lot. Maybe you’re working through a lack of connection with family, navigating the challenges of recovery, or coping with the profound pain of loss. You could be feeling stuck in the complexities of depression or searching for clarity in your identity as someone who is gay, lesbian, trans, or queer. Deep down, you know you’re ready for something to change, you’re ready to grow.

I often draw from CBT for practical support, while also incorporating deeper, insight-oriented work.
You’re used to functioning at a high level, but lately things feel harder than they should. You might feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns of overthinking or burnout, or struggling to follow through in the ways you want. From the outside, things may look like they’re working, but internally, it feels different. You don’t just want a place to vent—you want clarity, direction, and real, lasting change. I offer a space where you can feel understood and supported, while also helping you build patterns, systems, and ways of approaching life that actually work for you long term.

My primary therapeutic foundation draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while I also encourage CBT when helpful.
I work with adults 18 years and older who are navigating past traumatic experiences, grief and loss, life changes and transitions, identity and self esteem shifts, anxious and/or avoidant attachment. I also have a growing interest in ADHD, and helping people with sensory processing and executive functioning overwhelm.
