Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Craig Anderson integrates several practical approaches to help people navigate challenges and build coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying and committing to values-driven actions - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and adjustment-related struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then learn concrete skills to change them, making it effective for mood, anxiety, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s own goals lead the process and the therapist offers empathy and support.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Craig Anderson works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - can make access to licensed professionals more flexible and convenient. These formats allow scheduling around work and family commitments, let people engage from familiar environments, and support continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. Dr. Craig Anderson offers these modalities to match different communication styles and practical needs.
