About John
John Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of practice. He works with adults and focuses on problems that get in the way of daily life, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, panic, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.
He aims for a calm, respectful tone in sessions. The approach is client-centered and empathetic, letting each person set the pace. John uses practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational techniques to help people identify patterns and try different ways of coping.
Sessions begin with a conversation about what’s most urgent. He helps break down problems into steps that feel manageable. For people dealing with grief, addiction, relationship strain, or the stress of major life changes - including coping with natural or human-caused disaster - he offers steady, practical support.
John also addresses a wide range of concerns such as sleep and eating issues, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and attachment or abandonment worries. He blends mindfulness and narrative methods so clients can notice their thoughts, and then tell their story with more clarity.
His Florida-based LCSW credential is listed as FL LCSW. To begin, you will complete a short match questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment so you can see if his style fits your needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, showing acceptance, and following what the person brings to the session. Online sessions can use that same approach by creating space to reflect and set goals together.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes to see what helps. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that keep repeating. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily responses so they can choose different reactions; it pairs well with CBT for stress, trauma, and coping after major disruptions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and what feels practical for their daily life. That decision happens together over the first few meetings and can shift as progress is made.
Because the therapist's current session formats are not listed here, confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health limits and can reduce travel time. Some formats may also be useful when a shorter check-in is needed, or when a conversation without video is preferable to save bandwidth or allow a quieter experience.
