About Craig
Craig Bray is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with six years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, anger, and depression using conversation-based therapy and practical tools.
Craig focuses on clear, direct conversation. He listens to how problems show up in day-to-day life and helps people name patterns that get in the way. Sessions usually involve talking through recent situations, noticing unhelpful thinking or behaviors, and trying small changes to see what helps.
He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thinking patterns and test new responses. Craig also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves and how past relationships shape current feelings.
People who have trouble with anger or relationship conflict can expect straightforward strategies to manage reactions and improve communication. Those dealing with identity or LGBT questions can address stigma, belonging, and practical coping steps. Depression and ongoing low mood are worked on with attention to daily routines, activity, and thinking patterns.
Craig invites clients to try approaches that fit their goals and to adjust the plan as they go. To begin, users follow the site steps to view online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Craig blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns, helping people say what matters most. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, offering exercises to try between sessions that aim to reduce anxious or unhelpful reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress and feedback come in.
The biography does not specify particular online formats, so confirm the session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a session style that reduces the need to be on camera. These practical benefits help people keep consistent meetings and apply skills between sessions.
