About Lynn
Lynn Craig is a licensed social worker with over 32 years of practical experience helping people through hard times. She holds LMSW and LICSW credentials and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and relationship strain. Lynn writes plainly and listens closely so parents and individuals can describe what’s happening and get straightforward ideas for next steps.
Lynn has worked in healthcare, schools, residential settings, and mental health clinics.
Background and approach
That varied background shapes how she tailors care to each person's life and resources. She draws on different ways of working so sessions match the problem at hand rather than a single method. Her approach starts with what a person already does well.
She uses strengths to build new skills and to make changes that show up quickly. Sessions are collaborative - the client helps set goals and Lynn brings tools from cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered practice.
Lynn often helps people manage impulsivity, addiction concerns, eating and body image issues, attachment and family-of-origin problems, and the fallout from trauma or loss. She also supports parents navigating adoption, foster care, fertility challenges, and communication problems within families. People who choose Lynn can expect a practical focus and a steady, respectful presence.
She encourages small, doable steps that add up to better day-to-day functioning. To begin, she offers a short matching process and scheduling that fits the client's needs.
How Lynn's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then act toward what matters. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and managing difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood, which can help with depression, anxiety, impulse control, and ADHD-related patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and letting the client guide what to work on so goals come from the person's own priorities.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lynn will discuss what you want to change and try methods that fit your goals and daily life. She adapts strategies based on progress and preferences so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good when you want a full conversational session and visual cues. Phone calls can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, homework prompts, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different schedules.
