About John
John Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain, addictions, anger, parenting stress, and related issues. He uses practical talk-based methods aimed at helping people handle problems that get in the way of everyday life.
He keeps sessions focused and straightforward. He starts by listening to what feels most pressing, then uses methods that encourage clearer thinking and workable changes. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy and cognitive techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
John also integrates mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing when they fit the client’s goals. Those tools are used to reduce overwhelming reactions, manage stress, and increase motivation for change. Narrative elements may be used to help people reframe difficult experiences and regain a sense of control.
People come to him for help with sleep and eating difficulties tied to mood, for coping with major life changes, and for support through grief or caregiver strain. He also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and issues tied to attachment or abandonment.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative and practical. He encourages clients to set short-term goals and to try strategies between meetings. The focus is on clear steps that fit into day-to-day life rather than long theoretical discussions.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on understanding the client’s priorities and building practical next steps for everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In an online setting CBT often includes concrete exercises and short homework tasks to try between sessions, which can make progress visible week to week.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These practices can be guided during a session and then repeated independently during stressful moments to lower immediate tension.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to prioritize. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needed based on what helps most.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Different approaches lend themselves to different rhythms of work, and he will help plan sessions to fit everyday life.
