Jeannie Craig , LPC

Jeannie Craig, LPC, uses a client-centered approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and major life changes. She keeps conversations straightforward and focuses on what a person needs right now. Her style is calm and practical, aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new patterns. That work often helps with sleep problems, low mood, and impulsive behaviors. Jeannie also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance for intense moments.

Relationship work includes communication skills and the Gottman Method tools to reduce conflict and increase connection. Jeannie supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, infidelity, jealousy, and the stresses that come from parenting or separation. She also helps people with substance use concerns and co-occurring issues like ADHD and mood disorders.

Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions when they fit a person's goals, especially for managing anger, worry, or body-image struggles. Jeannie aims to make techniques practical so they can be used between sessions. She explains steps clearly and checks in about what’s working.

Jeannie has seven years of professional experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Michigan. Sessions are offered in English by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, a person uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters most to a person and shaping sessions around those goals. In an online session this means conversations begin with the person's priorities and progress at their pace, using questions and reflections to deepen understanding.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thinking, feeling, and behavior patterns and teaches clear skills to change them. Online CBT often uses short exercises, thought records, and between-session practice to address anxiety, depression, sleep, and impulsivity.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. Those skills can be taught and practiced in video or text formats and applied during real-life situations between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as they learn what helps best. That partnership shapes which methods are emphasized over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth discussion and skills practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can fit quick check-ins or brief coaching. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
