Remote counseling and treatment approach
Craig offers remote sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He works with clients to create an open and safe environment online where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment, and he approaches each conversation with a focus on supporting and empowering change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as he uses it, emphasizes identifying thought patterns and testing them through practical exercises and behavioral experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. The Gottman Method provides a structured way to examine relationship interactions and develop communication strategies within couples work.
These approaches are used collaboratively: Craig invites clients to set goals, practice new skills between sessions, and reflect on progress. He adapts the format to the communication method chosen, conducting skill coaching, discussion, and partner-involved work through video, by phone, or using live chat and messaging.
