About Lynn
Lynn Craig, LMSW, LICSW, offers steady, experienced care for people facing anxiety, panic, stress, and life transitions. She writes and talks plainly with clients, listening first to what matters most. Her aim is to help people find useful coping strategies and feel more in control of daily life.
Lynn brings 32 years of practice in healthcare, schools, residential settings, and mental health clinics. She frames therapy around each person’s strengths and goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and early wins so progress becomes noticeable quickly.
Her style is client-centered and humanistic. That means the person sets the direction and Lynn follows, helping build on what already works. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness tools to address unhelpful thinking, panic, and stress responses.
Lynn also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles and motivational interviewing techniques when they fit a person’s goals. She tends to blend approaches rather than rely on one method, looking for what helps an individual make steady change. She emphasizes collaboration and clear, achievable goals.
Many people come with issues such as panic attacks, trauma, parenting strain, relationship problems, grief, or difficulties with self-esteem and eating. Lynn has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, gender dysphoria, first responder issues, and other focused areas. She welcomes a straightforward conversation about what you want to change.
To begin, she asks people to share what’s most pressing and then co-designs a plan that fits everyday life and responsibilities. Her approach is practical, respectful, and focused on getting results that matter to each person.
How Lynn’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward what matters most in life. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like panic and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, with the therapist offering empathy and support while the client sets goals and pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lynn collaborates with each person to try methods that fit their needs and values, adjusting techniques as progress is observed. The decision about which tools to use grows from ongoing conversations about goals and what helps in day-to-day life.
