Dr. Craig Landry, LCSW

Dr. Craig Landry is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. He guides conversations so clients can take practical steps toward feeling steadier and more confident. He acknowledges how hard starting therapy feels and aims to make that first step simpler and more approachable.

With 27 years of experience in California, Dr. Landry adapts sessions to each person's needs. He listens closely and builds a plan around what matters most to the client. That might mean focusing on coping skills for daily stress or addressing painful memories from trauma.

He uses straightforward methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions often include talking through problems, testing small changes, and setting realistic goals. Motivational interviewing can help people find reasons to change and stay engaged.

Dr. Landry also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic pain or illness, codependency, communication challenges, fertility and hospice concerns, and issues that affect veterans and first responders. He helps people sort through guilt, shame, isolation, and life-purpose questions.

Conversations are shaped to fit each person's life and circumstances. He works to make practical progress over time, focusing on what a person can do between sessions. Booking begins by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire.

How his approaches fit into online work

Dr. Landry uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's goals and experience, which means sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on listening first. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and depression. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build commitment to steps they choose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Landry will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. He adapts methods based on those conversations so the plan feels workable and relevant to everyday life.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively at a distance, helping clients practice skills and try new habits between sessions.
