About Craig
Dr. Craig Anderson is a doctoral-level psychologist based in Louisiana with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing depression, anxiety, anger, substance concerns, grief, and ADHD among other challenges.
He aims to help people reduce distress and regain control of daily life. He uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Conversations are practical and focused on what helps day-to-day functioning.
He blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive-behavioral techniques and client-centered listening to build new habits and patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on clear goals such as managing mood swings, reducing anxiety, improving self-esteem, or coping with major life changes. He offers guidance that is directive when needed and collaborative when people prefer to set their own pace. The emphasis is on small, usable steps that add up to real change.
Dr. Anderson also addresses relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, eating issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue. He will work with someone to identify patterns that keep problems active and teach skills to break them.
This includes emotion regulation, changing unhelpful thoughts, and committing to valued action. People who prefer straightforward, practical work with warm listening tend to find his style helpful. He brings two decades of experience to each session and focuses on building resilience and better daily functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing skills to change them in everyday life. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past, and then try methods that match those priorities. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time if a different emphasis would fit better.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or camera use is hard. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep regular work toward your goals.
