About Jeannie

Jeannie Craig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and the fallout from life changes. Her practice also includes help for relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, substance issues, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and body image.

She frames therapy around straightforward conversation and practical skills. Sessions focus on improving communication, managing strong reactions, and building routines that reduce day-to-day overwhelm. Clients are invited to say what is and isn’t working, then try concrete options together.

Jeannie uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s priorities and pace at the center of planning.

In day-to-day work she helps people break problems into manageable steps. That might mean tracking anger triggers, rehearsing different responses, or changing routines that feed anxiety and poor sleep. She also uses mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Her practical focus extends to relationship concerns, using elements of the Gottman Method when couples work on communication and trust. Jeannie aims to help clients build tools they can use between sessions to handle frustration, resentment, and recurring conflict more effectively.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says, allowing sessions to follow the person’s priorities and pace. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist and client focus directly on current concerns and plan next steps together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying patterns of thought and behavior that feed anger or anxiety, then testing small changes. In online sessions this often means setting short exercises to try between meetings and reviewing progress in the next appointment.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be taught in session and practiced in everyday settings, with the therapist helping to troubleshoot what worked and what did not.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to select approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in and adjusting plans as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins around work breaks, no commute, or the ability to focus without travel. Ask about the available session formats when scheduling so sessions fit the practical demands of daily life.
