About Craig
Craig Salisbury is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with 20 years of experience. He focuses on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, anger, bipolar symptoms, and depression.

He works with clients to build clear plans for coping with life changes and addictive behaviors. Sessions often center on identifying patterns, learning new skills, and practicing small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person's situation and goals. Craig pays close attention to how grief, trauma, and relationship struggles affect mood and behavior. He helps people address shame, guilt, and feelings of emptiness while exploring life purpose and career concerns.
First responder issues and compassion fatigue are also areas he can help people navigate. He offers support for communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence impact, immigration issues, and the challenges of aging. Panic attacks and multicultural concerns are treated with the same practical focus on coping skills and symptom management.
Sessions are available in English and Spanish. Craig emphasizes respectful, sensitive dialogue and will work with each person to build a step-by-step plan. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he aims to make that process straightforward and manageable.

Evidence-based approaches for online care
Craig uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and symptom reduction. One common approach is skill-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and thinking strategies to manage anxiety, panic attacks, and anger. These tools are practiced in session and adapted for everyday situations.He also focuses on structured problem-solving to address depression, life changes, and career or relationship difficulties. This approach breaks problems into manageable steps, helping people try different solutions and track what works. For trauma, he emphasizes pacing and stabilization techniques to reduce distress while building coping resources.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He discusses options openly and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and reach licensed professionals from different locations.
