About Craig
Craig Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 40 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Craig also attends to issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, and problems with isolation or impulsivity.
He has long experience addressing gambling and gaming concerns within addiction work. His sessions focus on clear, practical conversation about current difficulties. He aims to listen to what feels most urgent and to outline steps clients can try between meetings.
Craig uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people break unhelpful patterns and build manageable coping skills. He will discuss different methods and explain how they relate to the concerns brought to sessions. The emphasis is on straightforward tools that can be practiced in everyday life.
Sessions typically start with a brief assessment of what is most pressing and what the client hopes to change. From there he and the client map short-term goals and small steps to address them. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can be adjusted as needed.
Craig works in English and practices from New York. He asks prospective clients to use the site matching process to schedule an initial appointment. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.
How evidence-based methods work in online sessions
Craig uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One approach focuses on practical skill-building to manage anxiety and panic - teaching short strategies for calming, breathing, and handling feared situations. Another approach addresses addictive behaviors such as gambling and gaming by mapping triggers, identifying risky patterns, and developing step-by-step plans to reduce harm.Finding the right method usually happens together. Craig will talk through which approaches might fit a person's goals and preferences, try them in sessions, and adjust based on what helps. The process is collaborative and paced to what the client can try between appointments.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. They also let people connect from different places within the same time zone without needing extra transit time. Licensed professionals can often adapt exercises and practice tasks to work well in remote meetings, and Craig will explain how each session will be structured when arranging the first appointment.
