Approaches and Online Support for Practical Change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to improve coping. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, helping people strengthen bonds and address relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Craig works collaboratively with each person to evaluate their needs, goals, and preferences and to select methods that feel like the best fit. That means adapting techniques over time and combining approaches when helpful to support progress.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessing care from a distance. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide a flexible option without video, and live chat or text messaging can support ongoing check-ins and coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect with licensed professionals regardless of location.
