About Craig
Dr. Craig Landry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 27 years of experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He also has experience addressing caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication issues, and concerns such as isolation or guilt.
In sessions he focuses on direct conversation and practical steps. He listens to what matters most and helps people name patterns that leave them overwhelmed or worn down. Expect clear goals, straightforward questions, and short-term strategies you can try between meetings.
Dr. Landry draws on client-centered work to shape the conversation around the person in the room. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. Solution-focused methods help set small, manageable goals and measure progress in concrete ways.
For trauma and abuse concerns he integrates trauma-focused approaches to address difficult memories and their ongoing effects. He brings experience supporting people through caregiver strain, medical challenges, and midlife transitions, helping them find practical ways to reduce pressure and regain some control.

How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping the conversation around what matters to the person. Online sessions can still center on the client's concerns, allowing the therapist to follow the client's lead and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change them. In virtual sessions this often means setting homework, tracking patterns, and reviewing short exercises together. Trauma-focused therapy addresses how past events affect today's reactions and uses paced, focused work to reduce their hold. That can include narrative work and grounding tools adapted for remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether to emphasize client-centered listening, CBT strategies, or trauma-focused tools. That decision is based on the person's goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable in session.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins between appointments, or sessions that avoid travel time. It can also let people try specific exercises in the environment where their problems occur and then talk through what happened in the next meeting.
