Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Craig Landry

Dr. Craig Landry uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist follows, helping people explore their values and make choices that feel authentic to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Trauma-focused therapy is applied when past traumatic experiences affect daily functioning, offering structured techniques to process memories and reduce their ongoing impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Landry works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can fit therapy into busy schedules or access care from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and engage in consistent work toward personal goals with licensed professionals and therapists.
