About Lynn
Lynn Craig is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 32 years of practice. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, and relationship and family issues.
Lynn has worked across healthcare, schools, residential settings, and mental health clinics. She describes a long career supporting people through life changes and difficult moments. Her practice reflects that variety of settings and client needs.
Her approach is person-centered and strengths based. She treats the person as the expert in their life and follows the client when choosing priorities and goals. Lynn blends techniques from different therapies to fit what a person finds helpful rather than following one fixed method.
Common methods she uses include cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thinking, mindfulness practices to manage stress, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action. She also draws on motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when those feel useful.
Lynn aims to help people notice progress early so they stay engaged. She supports adults working through parenting strain, family of origin problems, grief, eating and body image concerns, and challenges related to adoption, attachment, gender dysphoria, and HIV/AIDS. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
How sessions work
How Lynn's approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thought and behavior patterns and trying practical experiments to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and some eating or impulsivity concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and pacing and supports people who need to sort out feelings or decisions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lynn will talk with a client about their goals and preferences and then try methods that match those aims. That collaborative process can include shifting tactics if something does not feel helpful.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the commute. They also let people join from different locations, which is useful for international clients. A licensed professional will help plan sessions that fit a client's routine and goals.
