About John
John Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults to address problems that get in the way of day-to-day life. He commonly helps people facing depression, anxiety, panic, PTSD and trauma, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and issues with sleep and eating.
His style is warm, direct, and nonjudgmental. Sessions focus on what the person needs right now, with empathy and straightforward conversation. He draws on client-centered work so the person's goals shape each session.
John uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses narrative techniques to help people make sense of their stories. Motivational interviewing is part of his work when people want to make difficult changes but feel stuck.
Sessions are meant to be collaborative. He listens for what is working, then suggests tasks and exercises the person can try between visits. He also helps with coping skills for stress, sleep, and managing mood swings.
People who prefer a calm, solution-focused talk style tend to do well with him. He offers straightforward guidance and helps people set clear, attainable steps. Those seeking support for sleep, grief, addiction, ADHD, caregiving strain, chronic illness, or changes in life often find specific tools to try.
How these approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead to build trust and decide what to work on next. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, respectful space to talk through sleep problems, grief, or stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In sessions a person will learn simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that support better sleep and mood. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and insomnia-related patterns.
Motivational Interviewing helps when a person feels stuck about making a change. It uses guided questions and reflective listening to uncover motivation and set realistic next steps. This is often helpful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, and sticking to sleep routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
