Dr. Robert Crawford, LPC

Dr. Robert Crawford is an LPC with 20 years of experience helping people navigate major life challenges. He focuses on trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety and stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the strain of chronic illness or caregiving. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, self-esteem struggles, sleep problems, and career transitions.

He combines clinical counseling with coaching-style conversations. Sessions aim to break repeating patterns, address compulsive sexual behavior and pornography concerns, and repair relationship damage caused by affairs or intimacy problems. Work is practical and goal-focused so clients leave with tools they can use right away.

Dr. Crawford draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Those methods are used to help people name tough emotions, try new behaviors, and build firmer connection to their values and goals.

Clients describe the work as straightforward and aimed at results. Therapy often includes skill building for stress, improved communication strategies for partnership difficulties, and coping plans for grief or chronic health issues. Coaching elements help people plan next steps in careers or life transitions.

Dr. Crawford practices in New Jersey as an LPC. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the booking process and to schedule based on therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, chronic illness adjustment, and when someone wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns shape adult relationships and can guide work on intimacy, trust, and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test methods and adjust what’s used based on goals and what feels helpful. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, attachment work, client-centered listening, and narrative techniques over time.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and offer faster check-ins between in-person appointments. It can also allow for shorter focused sessions when a quick coaching touchpoint is needed or for longer standard sessions for deeper processing. Discussing scheduling needs during the intake helps shape a plan that fits everyday routines while addressing trauma, relationship repair, grief, or career coaching.
