Background and approach
Dr. Crawford brings 20 years of experience as an LPC, licensed in New Jersey. He draws on several approaches in session, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy.
These methods are used to help people manage anxiety, cope with loss, and repair relationship harms. In a typical session he listens, asks focused questions, and helps people try small experiments between meetings. The work is practical: testing new behaviors, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and building routines that support better sleep and lower stress.
Coaching elements help clarify goals and plan next steps. People meet with him by phone, video call, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions can be used to address compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, chronic illness impacts, and first responder concerns.
He speaks English and practices in New Jersey as an LPC.
Approach and online care that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers tools to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how past relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand intimacy, abandonment, and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that suit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what proves most helpful in practice.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video works well for in-depth sessions and nonverbal connection. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging let people check in, get brief coaching, or send notes between meetings. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skill building and steady progress.
