About Craig
Dr. Craig Anderson is a doctoral-level psychologist based in Louisiana with 20 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage issues such as depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem struggles, substance use, relationship tensions, and major life adjustments.
He approaches therapy in a direct and collaborative way so clients know what to expect from sessions. He tailors methods to each person rather than using one fixed style. That can mean drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
It can also mean client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s goals and perspective in the room. Dr. Anderson also works with trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, eating issues, career stress, bipolar concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.
He notes additional focus on personality disorders and self-harm when relevant to treatment planning. Sessions are practical and aimed at improving day-to-day functioning. Over two decades he has balanced supportive listening with clear, skills-based guidance.
He uses strategies to reduce distress, strengthen coping, and build long-term resilience. People come for short-term problem solving and for longer work on deeper patterns. His style combines direction with collaboration.
He helps clients set realistic goals and tracks progress toward them. That makes therapy feel purposeful and measurable while remaining focused on the person’s lived needs and values.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and anger when people want clearer purpose and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s experience and goals, offering empathic listening and reflection so clients feel heard while they work toward change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and tailor methods based on each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and skills coaching. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat allow brief check-ins, homework guidance, and flexible communication between scheduled meetings.
