Dr. Craig Anderson

Dr. Craig Anderson is a doctoral-level psychologist with 20 years of clinical experience. He works in Louisiana and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, relationship concerns, and other life changes. He uses straightforward, practical methods to help people get back to everyday functioning.

He draws on several well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In sessions he listens, helps people clarify goals, and suggests skills they can try between meetings. Conversations are collaborative and focused on real steps that fit a person’s life.

Dr. Anderson often addresses issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, self-harm concerns, personality-related problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, eating issues, and career stress. He also supports people facing compassion fatigue and adjustment after major life changes. His work aims to reduce distress and strengthen resilience over time.

He presents interventions in a supportive but directive way when needed, combining practical skill-building with exploration of values and personal priorities. People can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and planning for changes outside sessions. Dr. Anderson asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to his availability.

He holds the credential LA Psychologist 1593. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not take international clients at this time.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and pick actions that match their values. It emphasizes small steps toward what matters and can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. CBT often uses short exercises and homework to reduce symptoms and build coping skills for problems like anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying one approach, adjusting it, or combining techniques based on what proves helpful.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or avoid travel time. For many people the flexibility helps maintain regular sessions and practice skills between meetings, which supports steady progress.
