About
Craig Kalman is a seasoned professional counselor with 34 years of clinical experience, practicing in Texas.
His career includes more than a decade at the National Institutes of Health, where he worked with a wide spectrum of people - from leading health researchers to administrative staff and custodial workers. During that time he served as the senior employee assistance program (EAP) representative and worked as a crisis counselor during the Pentagon attack on September 11, 2001, the anthrax incidents in Washington, D.C. two weeks later, and the D.C. Sniper events about a year afterward. Those events provided extensive front-line experience in responding to stress and trauma as well as the everyday issues encountered by employees of a large institution.
Following his 12 years at the NIH, he was recruited to support the Department of Defense and the United States military nationwide, assisting soldiers and their families with the complex relationship and individual stress that can arise from multiple combat deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas of conflict.
Mr. Kalman draws on the training and skills honed through these roles to help people address a broad range of concerns. His primary areas of focus include stress management, processing trauma, grief and loss, navigating sudden personal and vocational change, and both generalized and specific anxiety.
His therapeutic style is relaxed and accepting, designed to give clients a non-judgmental space to explore their current situation. He employs an eclectic approach - using motivational interviewing to zero in on specific areas of conflict or distress and applying cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to support practical change. He recognizes how difficult it can be to ask for help and commends those who take that step; he looks forward to working with clients on their journey of change and personal improvement.
He is licensed to practice in Texas as a professional counselor and also holds a clinical counseling license in Maryland.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, research and practice indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the key benefits is flexibility - clients can choose the mode of connection that fits their life, whether that means a video call, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to attend sessions consistently and to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapy delivered online is provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and if someone decides they need a different fit they can switch providers. For many people, online options remove obstacles to getting help while preserving the same therapeutic aims found in face-to-face care.
