John Craig

John Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience helping adults manage difficult life problems. He draws on a calm, client-centered style to make sessions straightforward and approachable. He aims to help people reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life and rebuild a sense of control.

John focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. He also supports people dealing with grief, career shifts, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and caregiver strain. His practice includes work with aging-related issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, and other co-occurring problems.

His style is warm and nonjudgmental. Sessions emphasize listening first, then practical steps that match a person's goals. He uses approaches influenced by client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. That means talking through patterns, trying small behavior changes, and noticing thoughts and feelings in daily life.

John offers a collaborative pace so people can set the agenda. He helps clients make clear, realistic goals and checks progress along the way. Therapy can include coping skills for sudden crises and longer work on trauma or relationship patterns.

Based in Florida, he works in English and brings two decades of experience to his practice. People interested in getting started are invited to complete the service's intake steps to see if his approach matches their needs.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy starts with listening closely to what matters most to a person and following their pace. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, clarifies goals, and helps clients decide what to work on first, which can help with stress, relationship strain, and caregiving burdens.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to build small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep and eating problems.

Mindfulness techniques teach noticing thoughts and physical sensations without judgment. These tools can help with anxiety, trauma-related reactions, and recurring negative self-talk by offering short practices to use during the day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and pacing the sessions, then adding CBT exercises or mindfulness practices as appropriate.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about scheduling and format options when you complete the intake questionnaire to determine what will work best.
