John Craig

John Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of practice experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, substance concerns, and life changes. He practices in Florida and offers straightforward, person-focused care.

John starts by listening closely to what is most pressing. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about painful or confusing issues. Conversations are rooted in the client’s goals and paced to match what the person can handle.

He uses a mix of approaches that fit the problem and the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when negative thoughts and habits get in the way. Client-centered work focuses on the client’s experience and choices. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change habits like substance use or procrastination.

John also brings care to loss and end-of-life concerns, helping people navigate grief, caregiving stress, and decisions that come with serious illness. He pays attention to how emotional strain affects sleep, eating, relationships, and daily function.

Sessions move at a practical pace with clear steps and regular check-ins. People can expect direct conversation, tools to try between meetings, and collaboration on goals. He encourages questions and ongoing feedback so the work stays useful and realistic for everyday life.

Approaches and what online work can look like

John uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s experience and priorities, offering a listening space that helps people clarify what matters to them and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical habits that reduce anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to choose methods that suit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That choice can shift as progress is made or new issues arise, and he checks in regularly to make sure the plan fits.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows consistent contact during periods of caregiving, illness, or when people are managing grief and other life changes. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, can adapt CBT and client-centered approaches to remote sessions so you can practice new skills between meetings and track progress over time.
