About Lynn
Lynn Craig is a licensed social worker with more than three decades of practice. She meets people where they are and helps them find practical ways to manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and grounded in respect for each person’s strengths and goals.
Lynn draws on a mix of methods to match what each person needs. She leans on client-centered work that lets the person guide the pace and focus of sessions.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new coping skills. Mindfulness ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools appear in sessions when they fit the goals. These help people notice emotions and take values-driven steps even when feelings are strong.
Motivational interviewing is used to boost readiness for change when people feel stuck. Over her career Lynn has worked in healthcare, schools, residential programs, and mental health clinics. That range of settings shaped a practical style that aims for quick, usable gains.
She places attention on building skills that people can use between sessions. Lynn understands concerns that come up around parenting, adoption and foster care, attachment, body image, eating and food-related issues, and substance use. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, fertility struggles, and identity questions.
Her practice includes work with ADHD, first responder issues, gender dysphoria, and HIV/AIDS related concerns. People who choose Lynn can expect a collaborative stance. She focuses on clear goals, measurable progress, and strategies that fit everyday life.
Conversation and problem-solving guide the work toward practical change.

How therapy methods translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action even when feelings are uncomfortable. ACT can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions by focusing on values and workable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's lead so they set the pace and goals.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Lynn will discuss these methods with each person and combine elements that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. The plan can shift as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online sessions offer flexibility in several ways. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to have brief check-ins or to share thoughts between scheduled sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while using therapeutic tools in real life.
