How his approaches guide online work
Craig commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in session. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxious reactions and help manage panic symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and understood.He also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple breathing and grounding practices that calm the body in tense moments. These skills are taught in short, actionable steps that people can practice at home or during stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps tailor the pace and focus of sessions to what the client needs most.
