Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lynn Craig
Client-centered therapy places the person at the center of the work - the therapist follows the client’s lead, builds on strengths, and creates a collaborative environment for identifying goals and making change. This approach is well suited to people seeking a respectful, nonjudgmental space to explore life concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns. CBT can be helpful for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress by providing structured tools for problem solving and emotional regulation.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can support coping with chronic stress, grief, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lynn works collaboratively to determine which methods best fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The initial sessions are used to assess what will be most helpful and to adjust strategies as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and use the format that best supports each person’s participation in therapy.
