About Craig
Dr. Craig Landry is a California-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 27 years of experience. He works with adults who are feeling stuck, anxious, grieving change, or unsure about what comes next. He also helps people facing trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions including midlife questions and purpose concerns.
In sessions he focuses on clear, practical conversation. He listens and then helps people set small, manageable steps. That may include changing unhelpful thoughts, building coping skills for stress, or addressing the effects of past trauma. He uses familiar methods such as client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide the work.
Dr. Landry also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused approaches to help people find momentum and make decisions. For those processing loss, chronic illness, caregiver strain, or relationship ruptures, he offers focused support aimed at improving day-to-day functioning. He can address first responder and veteran-related concerns as part of his practice.
Sessions are organized around what the person wants to accomplish. He helps people clarify values and test small changes rather than promising immediate answers. People who are unsure about next steps often start by identifying one manageable goal and tracking progress from there.
Therapeutic conversations are straightforward and practical. Dr. Landry works in English and practices in California as an LCSW. He does not take international clients and asks prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking.
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's concerns and priorities. Online sessions using this approach involve open conversation and reflective listening to clarify what matters most and decide what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT often uses worksheets, behavior experiments, and concrete skill practice to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining client-centered listening with CBT exercises or using motivational interviewing to resolve ambivalence about change.
The practical benefit of remote work is fitting sessions into a busy life. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time, which many people find helpful when managing ongoing stress or chronic health concerns.
