Evidence-Informed Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Craig Gordon, LPC, draws from structured, skills-based therapy models that can translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits, then practicing practical alternatives that better support mood, stress management, and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful when feelings become intense or relationships feel hard to navigate. For relationship concerns, the Gottman Method offers a research-informed way to strengthen communication and reduce conflict by building understanding, connection, and shared problem-solving.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig collaborates with clients to identify what feels most relevant based on current challenges, personal goals, and individual preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue care during life transitions, and choose a format that feels comfortable from the start.
