How Craig’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person's lead. It helps people feel understood and find their own solutions by building trust and empathy.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful patterns.
The Gottman Method provides tools to improve communication and reduce conflict in close relationships. It emphasizes concrete skills for talking through problems and strengthening connection.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Craig will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time.
Online sessions make regular work on goals easier to fit into life. Video calls support conversations and skills practice when face-to-face interaction helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good check-in option. Live chat or text-based messaging offer short, on-the-go check-ins and allow for more frequent touchpoints between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules or travel.
