Craig Bray , LMFT

Craig Bray is a licensed mental health professional in California with 6 years of clinical experience. He holds an LMFT credential - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, anger management, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting his conversational style and treatment plan to reflect each client’s specific needs and goals.

Craig emphasizes a collaborative process that recognizes the courage it takes to pursue greater well-being and life satisfaction. He aims to support and empower clients as they take the first steps toward change, offering practical guidance and a tailored approach that attends to an individual’s circumstances. Those seeking help with relationship strains, mood concerns, or identity and anger-related issues will find an approach rooted in responsiveness and care.

Throughout his practice, Craig customizes therapeutic work rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, helping clients move toward more fulfilling and manageable ways of living while honoring their unique experiences and objectives.

Approach-Focused Care and Online Therapy Options

Craig Bray integrates client-centered methods that prioritize the individual's experience, offering a supportive stance that helps people feel heard and understood while they explore goals and concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, stress, and low mood and to develop practical strategies for change. Narrative Therapy helps clients reframe and make sense of their personal stories, which can be especially useful for identity-related issues and relationship transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Craig works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to fit therapy into busy schedules. These options support ongoing care for those managing work, family, or mobility constraints and for clients who live outside traditional service areas.
