About Craig

Craig Spiel is a licensed psychologist in Utah with nine years of professional experience. He focuses on practical steps to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, sleep trouble, depression, and major life changes. He emphasizes each person’s strengths and treats the client as the expert in their own story.

Craig listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try small, manageable changes. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at improving daily functioning and easing distress.

He also addresses common emotional themes such as communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Social anxiety and phobia concerns are part of his range of focus as well. The work often includes building coping skills and practicing new ways of responding to difficult feelings.

Craig invites people to take the first step toward change and acknowledges that starting therapy can be a hard decision. The approach is collaborative: he and the client set priorities together and track progress over time. This makes it easier to adjust the pace and methods as needed.

People who value clear goals, practical tools, and a supportive listening space may find his style helpful. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details to find the best fit.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Craig uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative ways of interpreting situations; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood by changing patterns of thought. Another approach centers on building skills for managing emotions and sleep, such as routines, relaxation, and behavioral experiments to test new habits.

Choosing the right method is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative plan can be adjusted over time based on what works and what does not.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing appointments during a lunch break. It can also make it simpler to have shorter check-ins when needed or to choose a format that matches comfort with video or audio. Because this therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, please confirm the current online and in-person options before booking.
