About Craig

Dr. Craig Landry greets people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, or the fallout from trauma. He explains things in clear language and focuses on practical steps that fit each person's life. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and recognises that starting therapy can take courage.

With 27 years of experience and a California LCSW credential, he draws on a few established approaches to shape sessions. Conversations are tailored to the person sitting across from him. He listens for what matters most, then works with clients to try options that could help in day-to-day life.

Typical work covers coping with life changes, dealing with grief or end-of-life concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and challenges like codependency or isolation. He also supports men facing midlife concerns, people affected by first responder or veteran experiences, and those navigating fertility or relationship betrayals.

Sessions often focus on identifying small, manageable changes and building skills people can use between meetings. He uses client-centered dialogue alongside practical techniques from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches when helpful. Motivational interviewing and trauma-focused strategies are used as needed to address motivation and the effects of past harm.

He speaks English and practices in California. People who want to begin are asked to use the continue button on this profile and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says. In online sessions this means the therapist follows your lead, reflects concerns back, and helps you decide what matters most to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low self esteem, and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of past harm and building coping strategies to reduce its effects in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and responsive to what helps you most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy schedule easier, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use video or phone choices that match their comfort, bandwidth, or need for a quicker visit.
