About Lynn
Lynn Craig is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and related life challenges.
Background and approach
With 32 years of experience across healthcare, schools, residential programs, and mental health clinics, she brings a broad perspective to therapy and a practical commitment to helping clients make meaningful changes. She tailors an integrative approach that draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas.
Lynn emphasizes clients' strengths and personal expertise, working collaboratively to set clear, self-identified goals and to track progress early so people stay engaged. Her practice reflects a humanistic orientation that honors each person’s dignity while offering practical skills, insight, and support.
Available to clients in Minnesota and to international clients, Lynn offers a flexible mix of formats and adapts her methods to fit individual needs, whether the focus is coping with life transitions, parenting challenges, grief, addictions, identity concerns, or attachment and adoption-related issues.
She welcomes the opportunity to explore how to partner with someone to improve quality of life and daily functioning.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and build new skills for problems like stress, trauma responses, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that puts the client’s perspective and goals at the center of the work, supporting insight and self-directed growth.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lynn works with each client to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily realities rather than imposing a single model, and she adapts interventions over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people balancing work, family, or location constraints. These formats make it possible to receive consistent therapeutic support from licensed professionals while using the approaches described above, allowing clients to practice skills in the contexts where they live and learn what works best for them.
