About Craig
Craig Bray is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with six years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, depression, and LGBT issues, and aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for people to begin change.
He uses a tailored approach to therapy, shaping conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs. Sessions center on clear goals and practical steps for daily life, alongside space to process feelings and patterns that get in the way.
Craig blends several ways of working to match what matters to the client. He may use client-centered methods to follow what the person brings, cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, and narrative or psychodynamic perspectives to look at life stories and recurring patterns.
People often come for help with communication problems, feelings of abandonment, caregiver stress, body image, or navigating major life transitions like divorce and end-of-life matters. He also works with issues such as control struggles, guilt and shame, and fatherhood concerns.
Craig aims to support practical change while holding difficult feelings. He invites clients to set the pace, try out new ways of coping, and revisit plans as needed.

Therapy approaches you can use online
Craig often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people make clear, usable changes. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows what matters most to the person and focuses on acceptance, listening, and building trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy targets thoughts and behaviors by identifying unhelpful patterns and trying small experiments to change them.He also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at personal stories and recurring relationship patterns. Those approaches help when someone wants to understand how past experiences shape present choices and emotions. Together these methods offer both practical tools and deeper reflection, and the therapist will work with each client to decide which mix fits best.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about goals and preferences and adjust methods as the work unfolds. For session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and let sessions fit more naturally into a busy week, whether you need a shorter check-in, a longer hour, or to avoid travel time.
