John Craig, LCSW

John Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. He focuses on helping adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. He aims to make therapy simple and direct so people can take the next steps toward feeling better.

He keeps a warm, nonjudgmental style in sessions. Conversations are client-centered and guided by empathy. He listens first, then helps people set clear, practical goals for change.

John uses well-established, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. He adapts these approaches to everyday problems like panic, grief, addiction, sleep and eating struggles, and coping with life transitions.

He also supports people facing complex stressors such as caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, domestic violence, dissociation, or co-occurring substance issues. He helps people tackle relationship and intimacy worries, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and work-related stress.

Sessions are presented in a straightforward way that emphasizes practical skills and clearer thinking. John encourages people to try small changes between sessions and to track what helps. He invites a short initial consultation to see if his approach fits each person looking for help.

Approaches to Online Work and What They Do

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people name what matters to them; it aims to create a respectful space where clients decide the direction of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. John will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He typically begins by listening, then suggests steps and techniques that can be tried and adjusted together over time.

Session format options are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help many people maintain steady progress while applying the tools learned in sessions to everyday routines.
