04Online support
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Craig uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. This helps people notice what keeps problems going and try small, manageable changes to feel better.Another common approach centers on coping skills for strong emotions like anger, panic, or mood swings. It teaches calming strategies, pacing, and step-by-step plans for handling triggers and managing day-to-day stressors. These skills are useful for trauma recovery, addiction coping, and building more steady routines.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s life and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversations and interactive work. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth. Chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to work on goals from different places and schedules.
