About Lynn
Lynn Craig is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with 32 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, parenting challenges, addiction, eating and body-image concerns, and ADHD. She also addresses grief, anger, self-esteem, and issues related to gender and sexual identity.
Lynn uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals first. She treats people as the experts on their lives and helps them set practical goals they can test between sessions. Her style draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas to offer flexible ways of working.
In sessions she emphasizes learning skills and building on strengths. That can mean practicing new ways of managing anxiety, trying behavioral experiments for difficult thoughts, or using mindfulness to steady strong emotions. She also supports parents navigating the stress of raising children and coping with changes like adoption or fertility struggles.
Lynn has worked in healthcare, schools, residential settings, and mental health clinics over her career. That background informs a practical, problem-focused approach that aims for noticeable progress so people stay engaged. She accepts clients internationally and conducts work in English.
People who meet with Lynn should expect a steady, straightforward style that focuses on specific problems and measurable steps. She asks about what matters most, suggests strategies to try, and revisits what helps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lynn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and feeling stuck by helping people practice small, values-based steps.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means the client guides the topics and pace. That approach supports people who need a steady listener while they make decisions about work, relationships, or identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another practical tool she draws on for changing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which can help with panic, depression, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lynn will review goals, try methods that fit the person's preferences, and adjust over time if something is not helping. She looks for techniques that show early progress so people stay engaged.
