Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive environment where the person's own insights and goals guide the work. It is useful for people seeking a supportive space to explore self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how these affect current connections and emotional responses; it can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and trauma-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Craig will work collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and will draw on different methods to find the best fit rather than applying a single technique. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, mobility, or geographic constraints. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver focused, regular support that fits into daily life while maintaining a steady therapeutic relationship.
