John Craig

John Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. He focuses on helping adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, anger, and related issues. John aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what is overwhelming them and begin practical changes.

He uses straightforward, person-centered methods that start with listening. Sessions begin by looking at what matters most to the client now. From there he blends tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to build steps that fit daily life.

John often helps people manage strong emotions such as anger and grief. He also supports those facing career stress, relationship and parenting struggles, sleep and eating problems, chronic illness, and long-term conditions like bipolar disorder. The work can include learning new coping skills, shifting unhelpful thinking, and building routines that reduce stress.

His style is warm and empathic. He encourages honest conversation and practical goals. He explains ideas simply and checks in often so clients can see what is helping.

John works in Florida and conducts therapy in English. He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match needs with goals before scheduling. That helps make the first sessions focused and useful.

People who want clear steps, steady support, and a collaborative approach may find his style a good fit. The emphasis is on manageable changes that improve day-to-day functioning.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps people feel heard and guides sessions around their priorities rather than a strict protocol. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress and emotional ups and downs.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful. Clients and the therapist check progress together and choose methods that fit the client's needs and preferences.

If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online sessions can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into the conversation for discussion during the appointment.
