About Craig
Craig Spiel is a Utah psychologist (UT Psychologist 10181975-2501) with nine years of professional experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, and life changes. Craig also focuses on issues such as communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Craig frames the client as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on. He encourages straightforward conversation about what is worrying someone now. Sessions tend to be practical and focused on manageable steps rather than long lectures.
In meetings he helps people talk through painful feelings and the choices in front of them. For someone carrying guilt or shame, he listens for the beliefs that keep those feelings active and works with clients to test and shift unhelpful thinking. He also addresses related problems like sleeplessness, low mood, and daily stressors that make emotional work harder.
Craig aims to make the process understandable and direct. He acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and notes that small changes in habits and thinking can reduce the burden of hard feelings. Clients who want clear conversation about emotions, behavior, and next steps may find his style a practical fit.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear methods that target thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test them against real-life evidence; this is useful for anxiety, guilt, and low mood because it makes difficult beliefs more measurable and changeable. Another approach works on small behavioral changes like sleep routines and activity scheduling to reduce depression and improve energy, which often makes emotional work easier.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress and new concerns emerge.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during transitions such as work breaks. Some formats use less bandwidth or shorter check-ins when that practical fit matters. Ask about the available session setups when you schedule to pick what works best for your routine.
