About Weston

Dr. Weston Crafton helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

Background and approach

He is a licensed marriage and family therapist and works with individuals and couples who want practical change. He focuses on clear conversations that move things forward rather than re-living the problem again and again.

He often begins by identifying small, workable steps clients can take right away. Sessions aim to build better communication, manage intense emotions, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life.

He draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Dr.

Crafton uses tools from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. He also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and create new habits.

Together these approaches support people dealing with trust, abandonment, and attachment concerns. He brings eight years of clinical experience as a Tennessee licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT.

That background informs work with blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and other complex situations. He treats concerns such as anger, codependency, and commitment problems.

Sessions are offered in English and carried out remotely through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. New clients get started by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Crafton commonly draws on the Gottman Method and Attachment-Based Therapy in session. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing destructive patterns between partners, which can help with conflict, trust, and intimacy issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and helps people form more supported ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and circumstances. That decision is based on the concerns you bring, your priorities, and how you prefer to work together, and it can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and relationship work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or text works well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or people who prefer typing to talking. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different life situations.
