Jeannie Craig

Jeannie Craig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan who focuses on trauma-informed care and practical support. She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy along with client-centered talk and skills-based approaches to help people manage anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions.

Jeannie keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She helps people sort through communication problems, relationship struggles, grief, and challenges with impulse control or substance use. She also addresses concerns like body image, self-esteem, parenting strain, and co-occurring issues such as bipolar symptoms or ADHD-related difficulties.

Her style centers on listening first and then offering tools that fit a person’s needs. That can mean skill practice from cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion regulation techniques influenced by dialectical behavior therapy, or focused work on traumatic memories when appropriate. She aims to make therapeutic steps clear and doable rather than abstract.

Jeannie has seven years of professional experience and uses a collaborative pace. She encourages people to set goals, try simple strategies between sessions, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Many clients find this approach helpful when dealing with midlife questions, breakup and divorce, or persistent patterns like codependency and control issues.

Her work is practical and steady, geared toward everyday changes that add up over time. People who want straightforward, supportive guidance for stress, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, or life purpose often look to her for help.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing events and reduce their everyday impact. In practice this often involves careful pacing, grounding skills, and guided processing to make upsetting memories less intrusive.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace. The therapist creates space for people to say what matters to them, then supports self-directed change and goal-setting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behavior changes. It often uses concrete exercises and between-session work to break cycles of anxiety, depression, and avoidance.

Choosing the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then recommend options and adjust plans as progress is seen. That collaborative method helps match techniques to what actually helps in daily life.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and options that can reduce travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online or in-person options before booking. Online work can be especially useful for applying CBT or DBT skills between sessions and for trauma-focused check-ins when in-person visits are difficult.
