Janet Craig

Janet Craig is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience. She helps people carrying stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and life changes. People who are facing loss or end-of-life issues often come to her for calm, practical support.

She listens carefully and responds with warmth and respect. Sessions focus on what each person wants to change and on small steps they can try between meetings. Janet uses straightforward tools to help people manage strong emotions, improve sleep, and handle family conflicts.

Janet has worked in child welfare, hospice, and schools. That varied background gives her experience with both short-term problem solving and longer bereavement work. She often supports parents navigating adolescence and those dealing with blended family dynamics.

As a bereavement counselor she helps people make sense of loss and find ways to cope with loneliness and guilt. Janet also offers support for caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues that come with aging. Her style is patient, grounded, and focused on practical recovery steps.

Clients can expect a collaborative relationship that starts with careful listening and clear goals. Janet encourages self-compassion and steady progress. Her goal is to help people feel more able to face day-to-day life and the changes that come with it.

Approaches that translate well to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people focus on what matters most and accept difficult feelings while taking action toward chosen values; it can aid with grief, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathetic listening and unconditional support, helping people explore feelings and build self-trust in their own time. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to reduce rumination and improve sleep and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will recommend ways to combine approaches that fit the situation. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as progress and challenges arise.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are arranged through the scheduling process. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while balancing family, caregiving, or work commitments.
