About Craig
Craig Spiel is a UT Psychologist (UT Psychologist 10181975-2501) with nine years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, depression, and life changes. Craig also focuses on concerns such as communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Craig works in a straightforward way. He treats clients as the expert on their own life and helps them notice strengths they already have. Sessions are practical and aimed at breaking down what feels overwhelming into manageable steps.
Clients can expect a conversational approach that looks at what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Craig helps people identify unhelpful patterns, try out new ways of responding, and track small improvements over time. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms like poor sleep, persistent worry, low mood, and trouble with relationships.
He respects that starting therapy takes effort and recognizes the courage it can require. Craig aims to make the first steps clear and doable, including deciding what to focus on in early sessions and how to measure progress.
Sessions take practical concerns into account, such as daily schedules and responsibilities. People who struggle with speaking up, meeting new people, or being watched may find sessions useful for developing skills and rehearsal in a calm setting.
Therapeutic techniques and online sessions
Craig uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what matters most to the client. One approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety and low mood; it supports skills for managing worry, behavior activation, and practical sleep habits. Another approach focuses on gradual exposure and rehearsal for feared situations, helping people reduce avoidance and build confidence in social settings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. He adjusts the focus over time based on what is working and what the client wants to change.
The practical benefits of remote work make fitting therapy into everyday life easier, but confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to keep appointments around work or family commitments. Please confirm current session formats when you book so you know what options are available.
