About Craig
Dr. Craig Landry is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. He greets new clients with a calm, respectful stance and focuses on building a practical plan that fits each person’s situation. Many people come to him when life changes feel overwhelming or when past hurts keep resurfacing.
Dr. Landry uses clear conversation and goal-focused work to help people feel steadier. He draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the person's experience. He also incorporates cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that can shift day-to-day mood.
Over a 27-year career he has supported people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication trouble, and life purpose questions. He also works with concerns such as infertility stress, first responder and veteran issues, guilt, shame, and end-of-life matters.
Sessions are shaped to the person in front of him rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. That means talking through what matters most, setting concrete next steps, and adjusting the plan as needed. Motivation-focused techniques are used when someone is ready to change habits or take new actions.
People who prefer a focused, practical approach often find this style useful. Dr. Landry aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant, helping people take manageable steps toward feeling better.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead, helping the therapist understand what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a calmer space to sort their feelings and set personal priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into small parts and tests new ways of coping. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and practical problems that benefit from step-by-step change.
Motivational interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and highlighting personal reasons to act. It can help when someone wants to build momentum toward healthier routines or decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then pick or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can change as goals evolve.
For session options, please confirm current formats before booking as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or longer conversations without travel time. It can also reduce the need to rearrange caregiving or work schedules, helping therapy become a sustainable part of everyday routines.
