About John
John Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. He practices in Florida and draws on a long career to guide practical steps people can take right away. John writes plainly and focuses on clear goals rather than jargon.
He uses a client-centered style that starts with listening. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him.
How John works
John combines that approach with methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to address symptoms and daily struggles. People come for many reasons including grief, career transitions, addictions, sleep or eating struggles, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He also supports coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and trauma-related symptoms.
John pays attention to patterns such as attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and challenges tied to ADHD or bipolar disorder. In sessions he offers concrete tools - thought work, behavior experiments, and mindfulness practices - to reduce distress and build routines that support change. He also uses narrative approaches to help people reframe painful experiences and find new meaning.
John aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. He helps set small, achievable goals and checks progress regularly. People who prefer a calm, practical conversation about their next steps often find his style a good fit.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the person's priorities first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the client set goals. This approach is helpful for people who want a collaborative space to sort out feelings and decide what to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions include practical exercises like testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding skills. These techniques can reduce stress, improve sleep, and help manage intense emotions during difficult moments.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. John will review your needs, try methods that fit your goals, and adjust based on what helps. He looks for small, measurable steps and checks progress together so the plan evolves as you do.
Online therapy makes these methods easier to access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions into a workday, a caregiving schedule, or other routines.
