About Lynn
Lynn Craig, LMSW, LICSW, is licensed in Minnesota and has 32 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, relationships, family concerns, grief, eating and body-image problems, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Her approach blends client-centered care with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based work, and she says the client guides the direction of therapy.
Lynn writes that she draws on many treatment ideas to find what helps each person. She starts by identifying the client’s goals and then uses strengths people already have. She emphasizes quick, visible progress to keep people engaged. Conversations focus on practical skills, new ways of thinking, and clearer communication.
Her past work includes healthcare, schools, residential programs, and mental health clinics. That background gives her experience with a wide range of life situations and settings. She says this variety helps her adapt methods to different needs and circumstances.
Lynn values working together toward self-identified goals. She prefers a collaborative style where clients lead the focus and the therapist offers techniques that can be tried and adjusted. Sessions aim to teach useful tools, notice change, and build on small successes.
She welcomes people who want a straightforward, skills-oriented approach that still centers the client’s perspective. Lynn asks clients to consider therapy a practical commitment of time and resources, with the expectation of measurable improvement over time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. It helps people who want to change stressful patterns and live in line with what matters to them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own perspective and pace. The therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-directed goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. It suits problems like anxiety, depression, and habits that clients want to change.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Lynn will work with clients to identify which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative effort and adjusts strategies based on what helps in early sessions.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins that match work or family schedules. It also supports continuing therapy when travel or distance would otherwise interrupt care. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, client-centered work, and CBT to an online setting with exercises, homework, and focused conversations to build skills over time.
