Janet Craig

Janet Craig is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience. She focuses on eating and food-related issues alongside stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, grief, and self-esteem. Janet speaks plain language and meets people where they are to help them move forward.

She draws on long experience across child welfare, hospice, and school settings. That background shaped a practical, calm way of working. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps toward goals the client chooses. Janet listens closely and helps people name what matters and what gets in the way.

Parents often come to her for help managing teen years, changing family roles, and blended family challenges. She also supports people dealing with loss, end-of-life transitions, caregiver stress, and chronic health issues. People who feel stuck by anger, loneliness, or body image concerns can find clear strategies here.

Janet uses approaches that emphasize acceptance, present-moment awareness, and practical problem solving. She helps people try out new habits, practice mindful awareness, and commit to values-based actions. Work can include improving communication, planning manageable routines, and building skills to cope with strong emotions.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to notice small changes over time. Anyone considering support is invited to take a first step and see if this approach fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Janet integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve mood, which can help with stress, anxiety, and eating concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Janet will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday environment and bring real-life situations directly into sessions. Ask about available session types when you schedule so you know what will work best for your situation.
