John Craig, LCSW

John Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering two decades of experience helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, panic disorders, PTSD and trauma, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and other challenges that can interfere with daily life and wellbeing. He approaches therapy with warmth, empathy, and a nonjudgmental, client-centered stance, aiming to create a safe and supportive space where people can explore difficult feelings and make meaningful changes.

His clinical work relies on science-based methods tailored to each person, including the Rogerian client-centered approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, cognitive reprocessing techniques, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods are used to address mood and stress-related conditions, trauma-related symptoms, relationship and family issues, substance concerns, sleep and eating problems, parenting and caregiving stresses, and other areas listed among his specialties.

John emphasizes collaborative care that respects each individual's pace and goals. Prospective clients are invited to an initial consultation to determine fit and establish a plan for therapy. As an LCSW, he brings specialized training and state licensure to his clinical practice and welcomes inquiries from adults seeking support for emotional, behavioral, and life transition concerns.

Approaches That Shape Online Care

John uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, empathic space where the individual’s needs and goals guide the work - this approach supports self-exploration, emotional regulation, and stronger relationships. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is used when people face ambivalence about change; it helps strengthen personal motivation and commitment to practical goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and John works together with each person to select or blend methods that fit their situation, preferences, and goals. Treatment plans are adapted over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers the same skilled, licensed professional care with greater flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives and different comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and engage in therapy from locations that work for the client.
