About Craig

S. Craig Hufford is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. He draws on a blend of Jungian ideas and practical therapies to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and intimacy concerns.

He approaches work with a plainspoken belief: the client knows their story best. He listens for strengths and patterns, and helps people use what they already have to make changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady steps forward rather than jargon or pressure.

Background and approach

His background includes long experience with grief, coping with life changes, and trauma and abuse. He also addresses parenting challenges, career stress, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family questions, and fatherhood concerns.

In the room he mixes Jungian therapy ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That mix lets him match the approach to the person’s needs, whether the work is practical skills, values-based decision making, or exploring deeper patterns. People who reach out can expect respectful listening and straightforward guidance.

He invites clients to take small, manageable steps and supports them as they test new ways of coping and relating.

Online support

Bringing Jungian depth and practical methods online

Jungian therapy looks at personal stories, recurring symbols, and life patterns to help uncover deeper meanings behind struggles. It can help people who want to understand repeated relationship patterns, inner conflicts, or difficulties with identity and purpose.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking steps toward a meaningful life. It teaches ways to notice difficult thoughts and still act in line with what matters, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

He will work collaboratively to identify which approach, or combination, fits best for each person. That means discussing goals, trying methods, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing processing, or a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into everyday life.
