About Craig

Craig listens first and helps people name what matters most. He uses straightforward conversations to set small, doable goals.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space where ideas are tested and adjusted together. Craig has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Indigenous and Hispanic communities. That background informs how he approaches concerns like chronic illness, grief, and caregiver stress.
He also helps with anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, and self-esteem struggles. In practice he draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior ideas, and emotion-focused approaches. He adapts techniques to each person's needs rather than following a fixed script.
Sessions often mix skill-building, problem solving, and conversations about meaning and values. Craig describes his role as a guide who helps people find their own answers. He emphasizes patience and respect while working toward clearer communication, healthier coping, and better day-to-day functioning.
He encourages small steps that add up to real change.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches coping skills for strong emotions, stress tolerance, and better communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and lifestyle. He often combines listening-based work with skills practice so sessions match what the client needs that week.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls let conversation flow much like an in-person session. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers typing over talking. These options offer flexibility while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
