About Lynn

She is Lynn Craig, a licensed social worker with more than 32 years of experience. She takes a practical, respectful approach and works alongside people as they make changes.

How Lynn works
Her background includes roles in healthcare, schools, residential programs, and community mental health clinics. That range of settings has shaped a flexible style that adapts to different needs and life circumstances. Lynn draws on multiple methods rather than relying on a single technique.
In sessions she uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Motivational Interviewing. She brings mindfulness practices and psychodynamic ideas into the mix when they fit the client's goals. The focus is on practical tools, clearer thinking, and steady progress.
Lynn values the dignity of each person and believes people can change when given respectful support and useful strategies. She welcomes conversations about how therapy might help and how to set realistic steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions because it focuses on meaningful behavior instead of struggling with every thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and problems like impulsivity or unhealthy coping. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the pace and topics of work while the therapist reflects and supports growth.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lynn will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what seems most helpful. She mixes methods when needed and involves clients in choosing techniques so the plan fits their life and values.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more verbal and visual connection helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching, quick check-ins, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or long-distance situations while keeping treatment focused on practical progress.
