About John
John Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. He sees adults for a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, and ADHD. He also lists work with eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
He uses a client-centered stance, listening first and helping people name what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, such as behavior changes, thought work, and mindfulness practices. He also draws on motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change and narrative ideas to reframe difficult experiences.
John frames therapy as a collaborative effort rather than a top-down process. He tends to blend talking, skill practice, and short exercises aimed at specific goals like reducing panic, improving sleep, or managing cravings. He will discuss options and adjust methods based on how someone responds in early sessions.
People contacting him can expect straightforward language and concrete tools alongside space to talk through painful events. He includes work on caregiving stress, fatherhood issues, chronic illness, and trauma-related problems when they come up in sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect his two decades of clinical practice in Florida. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to see if the approach fits their situation.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, which helps clarify goals and priorities. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, panic, and problematic habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding techniques to reduce stress and improve sleep and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. The plan can be adjusted over several sessions based on what helps most in everyday life.
