About Craig

Dr. Craig Landry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 27 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, or depression. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a straightforward, compassionate approach. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he aims to make that step easier for people searching for support.

He adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. In sessions he focuses on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and to rebuild confidence. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused work to address patterns that keep people stuck.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are part of his approach when people want to clarify goals or make changes more quickly. These methods help break big problems into achievable steps. He also pays attention to life circumstances like chronic illness, caregiving strain, or grief that often affect mood and coping.

Over nearly three decades he has worked with a wide range of concerns tied to stress and life transitions, including issues like isolation, guilt, communication problems, and midlife questions. He tries to create a calm, respectful space for each person to talk through what matters most. If you are thinking about starting therapy, he invites you to take the next step and complete the intake process.

How his approaches shape online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and tailoring conversations to what matters most to you. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and make sense of their situation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking large problems into manageable steps.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic experiences and on practical strategies to reduce their impact. This approach can be helpful when past events continue to affect everyday mood and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit your needs. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and may change as you make progress.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for quicker check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. It can also offer flexibility around work or caregiving schedules and help maintain continuity during life transitions.
