About Craig
Craig Johnson is a New York licensed mental health counselor with four decades of experience. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addictions, and life changes. He also addresses concerns such as ADHD, mood struggles, and money and financial issues. Craig aims to offer respectful, sensitive, and compassionate support as people take the first steps toward change.
Craig shapes conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs rather than use a one-size-fits-all approach. He has long experience with gambling and gaming difficulties and helps people untangle the patterns that keep those problems going. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and small changes that add up over time.
He pays attention to how issues like abandonment, attachment, guilt, shame, and impulsivity show up in daily life. Craig also works with people struggling with isolation, social anxiety, panic, and questions about life purpose. The goal is to reduce distress and increase manageable choices for everyday living.
With many years of practice, Craig aims to be a steady guide through difficult moments. He encourages honest conversation and collaborates on plans that feel realistic.

How evidence-based techniques shape online work
Craig uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and practical change. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different responses; this helps with anxiety, panic, and mood problems by teaching ways to react differently in stressful moments. Another approach centers on behavior change and managing urges, which is useful for addictions and impulse issues by breaking problems into manageable tasks and tracking progress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, current challenges, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they test methods and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method from the start.
If you are thinking about online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use audio-only or limited camera time if that helps them focus. Discuss format preferences when you schedule so the sessions match your routine and goals.
