About Durward
Durward Craig Sr. is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Louisiana with 12 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family problems, depression, and coping with life changes. He also lists a focus on family of origin issues and related relationship patterns.
He talks frankly about the role past family patterns can play in adult life. Sessions tend to focus on identifying repeating roles and expectations that cause stress or go unspoken. He emphasizes helping people notice the choices they can make now, rather than assigning blame for the past.
In practical terms he listens to what is most pressing and then helps people try clearer communication and manageable behavior changes. He helps clients work through separation and divorce decisions, infidelity and commitment worries, and the strain that blended families can bring. He also offers support around aging concerns, caregiving, and isolation in later life.
His approach is collaborative and strength-based in wording: he treats clients as experts on their own stories and builds on what they already do well. Sessions aim to surface patterns, practice different responses, and track small improvements over time. The work can include focusing on communication skills, managing anxiety, and coping with major life events.
Durward sees adults who want practical, down-to-earth help with family patterns and everyday stressors. He conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats.
How therapeutic methods are used in online sessions
Durward describes his work as focused on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people change patterns and manage symptoms. One common approach is skills-based work that practices clear communication and anxiety management. This involves learning small behaviors to test in day-to-day life and then reviewing what worked and what did not.Another approach is problem-focused sessions that identify repeating family roles and expectations from childhood. These sessions help people see how those patterns influence current relationships and then try different ways of relating. Both approaches are concrete and goal-oriented, aimed at manageable change rather than long lectures.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. He will collaborate with clients to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting if something else seems more helpful.
