About Durward
Durward Craig Sr. is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, and depression. He draws on 12 years of experience to offer steady, practical support. He speaks English and works with clients in Louisiana and beyond.
He treats life changes as a process that can be managed one step at a time. Sessions focus on clear goals, everyday coping skills, and strengthening the things that already work in a person's life.
Background and approach
The tone is direct and encouraging rather than overly clinical. Craig believes clients know their stories best. He listens closely and helps people name patterns that cause pain.
From there he offers tools and simple steps to change how people react to stress and relationship problems. His work addresses both immediate concerns and longer-term adjustment. That can include practical strategies for reducing anxiety, rebuilding communication, or managing grief and loss.
He also brings experience with aging and geriatric issues, blended family situations, cancer-related challenges, and separation or divorce. Sessions may include short-term problem solving or ongoing support depending on what a person needs. The aim is to help people feel more capable and less stuck so they can move toward a more satisfying life.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Durward Craig Sr. uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach teaches straightforward coping skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing practices, behavioral steps to reduce avoidance, and short activities to shift mood. These tools help when stress feels overwhelming or when worries interfere with daily life.Another approach emphasizes improving communication and relationship patterns by identifying unhelpful interaction cycles and practicing different responses. This work is useful for people dealing with trust issues, infidelity, commitment questions, or recurring conflict. The therapist works step-by-step so new habits can be tried and adjusted over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that make sense for your situation. If something isn’t helping, he will work with you to change course and find a better fit based on your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
