About Durward
Durward Craig Sr. is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family tensions, depression, and coping with life changes. He approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Taking a first step toward change can feel hard, and he aims to offer steady, practical support along the way.
In sessions he listens for what matters most and helps people set clear, manageable goals. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with everyday problems like communication breakdowns, commitment worries, or feelings of isolation. He also helps people navigate major life events such as divorce, blending households, cancer-related stresses, and aging concerns.
Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is among the topics he has supported people through, helping them find routines and coping strategies after sudden change. He pays attention to how family history and relationship patterns affect current struggles, including issues rooted in family of origin or long-standing conflict.
His practice includes work on forgiveness, impulsivity, and rebuilding trust after infidelity. He also addresses domestic violence impacts and the emotional strain many men experience. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients, while following the licensure standards for Louisiana.
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Durward uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life problem solving. One approach helps people learn practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breathing work, behavioral activation, and breaking problems into smaller steps. Another approach focuses on communication and relationship skills, teaching ways to express needs, set boundaries, and repair patterns that cause repeated conflict.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust techniques over time. That way the plan evolves based on what actually helps in daily life.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a workday break. It can also make it simpler to continue care after relocation or when immediate in-person options are limited.
