About Craig

Craig Johnson is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York who brings four decades of professional experience to his work.

Background and approach

He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, eating concerns, life transitions, and ADHD, and he addresses related issues such as impulsivity, isolation, guilt and shame, and mood difficulties. He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and adapts conversation and treatment plans to fit individual needs.

Clients can expect pragmatic support aimed at everyday functioning and longer-term growth. Craig emphasizes collaborative planning so goals, pacing, and techniques reflect what matters most to the individual.

He recognizes that seeking change requires courage and positions himself as a steady partner throughout the process of working toward greater well-being and clearer purpose.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building

Craig draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build skills and manage symptoms. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning; this method is useful for panic, social anxiety, and mood concerns. Another approach emphasizes relapse prevention and coping strategies for addictions, teaching practical tools to recognize triggers, manage impulses, and develop healthier routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Craig works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies, adapting plans over time so therapy remains aligned with what the person needs and wants to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing work to continue around work, family, and other commitments. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional, maintain momentum between sessions, and use different communication styles as needs change.
