About Craig
Dr. Craig Anderson is a doctoral-level psychologist practicing in Louisiana. He brings 20 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns.
He sees people struggling with addictions, anger, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related or relationship worries. He uses a mix of practical approaches to match each person's needs. That can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered work, and skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
How Craig works
Sessions aim to reduce distress while building resilience and coping skills. His style is collaborative and directive when needed. He works with clients to set clear goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress over time.
The tone in sessions is supportive but focused on real-world change. Dr. Anderson also addresses career concerns, eating-related issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, personality difficulties, and self-harm risk where relevant.
He helps people navigate life transitions and rebuild daily functioning after setbacks. Appointments are offered in English and delivered through several online formats. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions that fit their routine.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by teaching practical ways to act despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and anger by giving structured tools to test thoughts and try new behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT, CBT, client-centered conversations, or DBT skills, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins or when journaling helps. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and keep continuity when travel or scheduling conflicts occur.
