About John
John Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping adults work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. He practices in Florida and focuses on clear, practical support for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. He usually meets people where they are and listens first.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He aims to make complex problems easier to talk about and understand. His work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, grief, addiction, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and challenges tied to parenting or career change.
Background and approach
He also addresses trauma, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and substance concerns. His approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. That means he pays attention to people’s strengths, helps reframe unhelpful thoughts, introduces simple mindfulness skills, and invites clients to tell their story in new ways.
John describes his style as warm and nonjudgmental. He works collaboratively to set goals and choose strategies that fit each person’s life. Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on changes that matter day to day.
Practical approaches for online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to each person's needs. The therapist follows the client's lead, highlights strengths, and works to build trust so people feel comfortable talking about hard things.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors link to mood. It uses straightforward strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and to practice different actions that can reduce anxiety, depression, and related symptoms.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills. These tools help reduce rumination and increase calm when stress or strong feelings arise.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods as needs change. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan fits their life and preferences.
Online sessions give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, written reflections, or support between longer sessions. Together these options make it easier to weave therapy into a busy schedule.
