Kaneesha Craig, LCPC

Kaneesha Craig is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as relationship problems, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, parenting strain, and anger. Kaneesha uses straightforward talk and practical strategies in sessions.

She has experience across settings from hospital-based work with people who have chronic mental illness to community agency roles helping people adjust to life changes. That range gives her a sense of what works in short-term and longer-term situations. She emphasizes respect for the person while encouraging them to take responsibility for behaviors that affect daily life.

Her approach blends Client-Centered principles with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In practice that means listening first, then helping people test and change thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when someone needs help deciding on goals or taking small, achievable steps.

Sessions focus on concrete skills such as managing stress, improving communication, addressing sleep and eating issues, and responding differently when anger or resentment builds. Kaneesha also helps with career transitions, coping after loss, and concerns related to ADHD and bipolar disorder.

She works collaboratively with each person to set realistic goals and measure progress. Sessions are practical and action-oriented, aimed at everyday changes that make life run more smoothly. Kaneesha accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
