Polly Craig, LPCC

Polly Craig is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with five years of direct clinical experience and more than 30 years of professional work within social services programs. She focuses on helping people address addictions, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, and career guidance, bringing a long history of service in military and federal settings to her therapeutic approach.

Polly emphasizes practical, compassionate collaboration that supports clients through change. She works to build an open, nonjudgmental environment in which thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. That foundation allows clients to identify goals, practice coping strategies, and make steady progress at a comfortable pace.

Taking the first step toward therapy often takes courage, and Polly aims to make that step easier by offering clear guidance and steady support. Her background in social services and service-related environments informs a grounded, empathetic approach suited to individuals facing addiction, trauma, career transitions, or challenges related to identity and relationships.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Polly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to online formats. One approach focuses on structured, skills-based work that helps clients develop practical strategies for coping with cravings, stress, and day-to-day challenges related to addictions and life transitions. This kind of work emphasizes clear goals, practiced techniques, and measurable progress.

Another strand of her practice is trauma-informed care, which centers on helping clients process past hurts while reestablishing safety and emotional regulation. In this approach the therapist supports pacing, stabilization, and techniques for managing intense reactions so that deeper work can proceed when the client feels ready.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Polly works with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Polly is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to fit therapy into busy schedules and receive consistent support from locations that work best for them.
