Hello, my name is Craig, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor currently living in South Carolina with 19 years of counseling experience. I have a bachelor's in psychology and a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. I believe effective counseling is a collaborative relationship. I tailor the counseling experience to each individual by integrating a variety of evidenced-based counseling theories such as Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Client Centered, Strength-Based, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
In my professional experience I’ve enjoyed working with clients in various counseling settings including an adolescent residential program, adult and adolescent inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and outpatient.
I believe that everyone's life has value, and I have definitely found my own meaning working in this field, where I have been fortunate to be able to help many people improve their lives and their approaches to difficult times. I do not believe there is a personal problem too small, or too large, to benefit from some good solid counseling.
I look forward to working with you and seeing things improve in your life!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
