Krystal Bryant is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 13 years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked with a variety of populations including, children and youth, geriatric, crisis management, substance use and general mental health. Krystal received her Masters in Social Work from East Tennessee State University. She participated in an intensive training in trauma focused CBT and DBT for her first two years as a therapist and this has shaped her therapeutic path.
Here are some words from Krystal herself:
I am a trauma informed cognitive behavioral therapist with a focus on using interventions for somatic recovery and cognitive reframing.
I treat the following disorders:
Trauma and stress related disorders such as CPTSD, PTSD, Adjustment, OCD, Social Phobia, General Anxiety, Stress Management
Mood disorders including Depression and Bipolar.
Crisis Care Management including Borderline Personality Disorder, Suicidality, self harm, and existential crisis
ADHD, grief, women's health, outpatient substance abuse disorder, insomnia (behavioral interventions), emotion regulation, and self esteem
I am NOT trained in couples or family counseling, eating disorders, autism or gender dysphoria
I operate out of the following modalities and theories: CBT, DBT, ERP, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Behavioral Interventions, client centered approach, Polyvagal theory, Trauma informed care (Cognitive Processing and Internal Family Systems).
I am also aware that not everyone is seeking OR in need of a specific intervention type of therapy. Sometimes we are looking for a place to be heard and a place to work through our own thoughts. I can provide a nonjudgmental atmosphere where we can work on identifying triggers for the current ailment, uncovering root cause, provide a validating listening environment, and refer to other professions to help with your individual healing journey. (psychiatry, psych NP, nutritionist, medical PCP, holistic health practitioners, case management or other community resources such as AA, NA, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters etc.)
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Infidelity counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed for couples grappling with the aftermath of one or more partner’s infidelity. It offers a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where both individuals can delve into the underlying reasons behind the breach of trust, openly express their feelings, and collaboratively strive to mend their relationship. The overarching objective of infidelity counseling is to either facilitate a path to reconciliation, should both partners desire it, or guide them through the process of separation or divorce with clarity and empathy.
Infidelity counseling combines various therapeutic techniques, such as individual and couples therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches for changing destructive thought patterns, communication skills training for conflict resolution, Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to rebuild trust, narrative therapy to reframe relationship narratives, and mindfulness practices for managing intense emotions. These methods work together to foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and the reconstruction of trust, leading to a healthier, more resilient relationship.
Infidelity counseling at Thriveworks Knoxville, TN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions needed for infidelity counseling can greatly vary based on the specific needs of the individuals or couples involved and the complexity of the issues being addressed. Thriveworks infidelity counseling in Knoxville, TN typically includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months, with the exact number of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist while considering the progress made during therapy and the therapeutic goals.
In America, an estimated 25% of all married individuals will commit an act of infidelity during their married life. Infidelity occurs in essentially all cultures that have been studied, spanning all social classes, and as a phenomenon has a long and pervasive history. However, despite its high incidence, infidelity is condemned by 90% of all married individuals in America.
The paradox of infidelity being widely practiced and widely condemned is undoubtedly noteworthy. There are many different factors that contribute to a person’s decision to cheat – the reasons are personal and differ from one couple to the next. There is no exhaustive list of factors that can cause unfaithfulness in a relationship, although some common triggers may include emotional or sexual dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, or preexisting conflicts over matters unrelated to betrayal. The individuality of circumstances that lead to infidelity creates a situation in which professional help in the form of counseling for infidelity can be of great advantage to a relationship.
If you are struggling after infidelity counseling, reach out to Thriveworks Knoxville for help. Our counselors are here to support you.
The consequences of an act of infidelity can be truly devastating for the victim. Relationships are built upon mutual trust and when this bond is broken by the one you love there is a cascade of intensely emotional responses that develop. Some of the strongest emotions that will be experienced include grief and anger; distrust almost always ensues and is one of the most destructive elements for a relationship during this turbulent period.
Distrust causes the victim to obsess about the act of infidelity, making the individual focus his or her energy on rehashing the events, facts, as well as actions that caused the act of disloyalty – the victim will feel the need to control exactly what the perpetrator is doing, who they are with or where they are at all times.
The act of infidelity can cause the victim to experience an emotional rollercoaster that will be hard to manage – an environment that provides a forum to air your emotions and thoughts with a neutral guide can be liberating for the grieving partner. A professional counselor for infidelity will do just that – he or she will act as an impartial judge, guiding the communication and discussion towards an amicable solution for both parties. Regardless of the outcome, a good counselor will strive to facilitate the best possible resolution for the affected couple.
At Thriveworks Knoxville, our professional counselors offer support to people facing the fallout from an act of infidelity. Thanks to our extensive experience we understand how to look after our clients – we tailor our counseling sessions to the individual needs of every couple. So why not reach out to us today to arrange your first couples counseling session for infidelity? We offer evening and weekend sessions, and we accept most major insurances.
