About Craig
Craig Salisbury is a licensed counselor in New Mexico with 20 years of professional experience. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and bipolar disorder. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to meet people where they are.
He focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. That can mean learning tools for mood management, practicing ways to handle panic, or building routines after big life changes.
Background and approach
He also helps people working through grief, addictions, relationship strain, and career concerns. His approach is straightforward and respectful. He listens first, then shapes conversations and plans to match each person’s needs.
Sessions are described plainly and geared toward realistic, doable changes rather than jargon or long lists of techniques. Craig has additional experience with aging and geriatric issues, first responder concerns, multicultural matters, immigration-related stress, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence impacts, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
People can expect a collaborative process that balances problem-solving with emotional support. Craig encourages small, steady steps toward clearer routines, improved coping, and better day-to-day functioning. He accepts international clients and offers care in both English and Spanish.
Approaches and online therapy options
Craig uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and clear problem solving. One common approach centers on mood and symptom management - learning concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage bipolar swings, and handle panic attacks. Another approach focuses on coping with life changes and grief, helping people make routines, process loss, and rebuild daily functioning. Each method emphasizes real-world steps that can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then choose or adapt methods together. This collaborative way makes it easier to try an approach and change it if it does not fit.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face when screen time is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy day and to follow up between sessions. Together these options help make regular care more practical for work, travel, or different time zones.
