How Craig’s Approaches Fit Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship, helping people feel heard and guiding them to set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical exercises to identify thought patterns and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited over time so techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also gives flexibility for quieter surroundings or sessions that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals, including Craig, can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT homework for remote sessions to keep the work practical and goal focused.
