Background and approach
His approach blends talk-based methods that look at present thoughts and behaviors with deeper exploration of life meaning and past patterns. That mix can be useful for practical problems like anger and anxiety, and for longer-standing issues such as attachment or codependency. Clients can expect collaborative planning.
Craig will help set goals, try techniques that fit the client, and adjust the plan as progress is made. He frames therapy as a process that takes courage and steady effort. He has worked with a wide range of concerns including caregiver stress, communication problems, grief and end-of-life topics, gender dysphoria, and first responder issues.
Craig describes his style as sensitive and compassionate while remaining focused on real-world change.

Online approaches that fit busy lives
Craig uses client-centered therapy to create a space where the client’s concerns guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so people feel respected while they talk through hard topics like anger or relationship strain.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior and trying practical strategies to change them. CBT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and learning concrete ways to manage anger in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Craig will discuss different methods and work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy workable around daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options help people keep therapy consistent even with busy schedules.
