My aim is to offer you a safe and secure setting with the resources you need to work through and overcome mental health problems.

My counseling approach is warm, nonjudgmental, client-centered and empathetic. I employ a range of science-based therapeutic treatment methods, to include: Rogerian approach, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Reprocessing and Motivational Interviewing.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He’s solid as s rock!
It's great working with John. I feel I am making progress toward healing.
John has been extremely understanding of receiving all the information before providing guidance. It has been great speaking with him thus far and has already been good help with my situation
John has been a great listener in addition to providing sound and applicable advise as I move forward. He’s been very helpful, and I look forward to each of our sessions.
He gets 10 stars. He’s actually the first therapist I’ve ever had that actually makes me feel like I’m being helped and am doing better Therapy in the past never did much for me and that’s why I waited so long to try again. But I’m so glad that I did. Instead of being hard on me like most people are. He sympathizes with me and that is so refreshing. So thank you John. I’m thankful for you and I highly highly recommend him
Well balanced. Knowledge. Sincere.
John is amazing!! He has been helping me deal with my emotions as well as making positive decisions in my life. I am so thankful I found him!
John is a great listener and he knows how to get me to set goals and keep them.
John Craig is a great listener who has an incredible ability to help yourself come to the realization. He’s verse in plenty of situations to understand where you’re coming from and always has examples for you to understand and relate. Quality help from a heartfelt man.
I appreciate his input as someone with a similar background of faith.
Mr. John has been a tremendous help in being a listening ear and an encouraging voice. He's very personable and helps me know I'm not alone as he walks with me through my challenges. I recommend that anyone who needs someone who will advocate for them and champion them towards a healthier mind and life reach out to him.
Mr Craig continues to monitor my journal inputs and tie them into our near weekly phone sessions. Highly recommend this gent!
John is a knowledgeable and competent therapist who is patient and very kind.
John is kind and always listens to your issues and helps you a ton with conflict resolution. I have had trouble with conflict resolution and John has truly helped me a ton with it amongst a variety of other things. Thank you so much John.
Excellent
John has been a kind voice and a listening ear to aid me through my deepest traumas. I have been able to share secrets of abuse that I've kept from everyone around me for 21 years. I am finding freedom from guilt, shame, and pain in our sessions. He is a huge help in dealing with the root cause of my depression and anxiety. I can't recommend him enough.
I have been working with for almost a year with John Craig and he has taken the time to understand all the keep players in my life and my goals of how to interact with them in healthier ways. John gives me both concrete "assignments" and also more broad reaching feedback and advise. I wanted a therapist who not only listens but speaks, educates and hoids me accountable. I strongly reccommend him as a therapist and plan to continue with him long term.
John is an expert at prioritizing your feelings and figuring out coping mechanisms as well as root cause issues that you can work on. I really respect him and BH is lucky to have him as a therapist on their platform.
Mr. Craig has been the straightforward and practical voice and ears that I’ve needed throughout the last 9 months while commencing a divorce and some of the trials and tribulations that have come with it. He’s responded to virtually all of my daily journal entries sometimes to build on an idea he picks up on and other times generating a well-needed laugh. Couldn’t recommend more highly
So good
Very thoughtful
John is excellent. He listens and displays a wealth of knowledge on a variety of topics within his field. He is empathetic, but asks just the right questions to help me clarify my thoughts and feelings.
He is super kind. He’s patient and attentive to make sure I’m always comfortable and very helpful.
Mr. Craig is an amazing counselor. He offers a lot of good pieces of advice, and one can tell that he is quite knowledgeable simply from his appearance. He is very supportive and keeps me on the right track.
John has been great ! We have a nice and easy yet effective dialogue. He has helped me with setting a goal and I’m excited for a plan that will help me with my issues.
