John Craig, LCSW

John Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. John writes in a calm, respectful way and focuses on practical steps people can use in daily life.

He has worked with a wide range of issues including addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, and grief. His background includes long experience addressing trauma, PTSD, and abuse-related problems.

John’s style is warm and nonjudgmental. He uses a client-centered approach that centers on each person’s goals and pace. He often blends cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to help people change unhelpful patterns and take small, realistic steps forward.

Sessions typically focus on clear goals, practical tools, and stories people tell themselves about their lives. Narrative therapy ideas are used when helpful to reframe difficult experiences. Mindfulness techniques are also introduced to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve focus.

He works with adults in Florida and offers in-session support around career stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and anger alongside more classic mood and anxiety concerns. Prospective clients should confirm session formats before booking to make sure they match their needs.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses simple strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short exercises in awareness and grounding to reduce overwhelm and improve focus; these tools can be helpful for mood, sleep, and trauma triggers.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adapt methods over time so sessions feel useful and manageable rather than overwhelming.

Session logistics should be checked before booking because the profile does not specify formats. Talk with the therapist about what fits your routine, such as sessions that better suit a shorter check-in or ones that allow being on camera for in-depth work. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or to continue care when travel or health issues make in-person visits harder. The focus is on practical ways to apply techniques between sessions so therapy supports everyday life.
