Therapeutic approaches John Craig uses for online care

John Craig works with several evidence-based approaches that translate well to online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship where the client’s perspectives and choices guide the work - it is often helpful for building self-understanding and emotional safety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines how thoughts, feelings and behaviors interact and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and panic. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method that supports people who are ambivalent about change and helps increase motivation for steps like behavioral change or recovery.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels.
