About Lynn
Lynn Craig is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with 32 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating issues, anger, ADHD, and related areas. Lynn also addresses adoption and foster care, attachment questions, body image, communication problems, and other life stresses.
She has worked across healthcare, schools, residential settings, and mental health clinics. That range informs a practical style focused on steady, usable skills. Sessions aim to identify steps people can try right away to feel less stuck and regain more control over reactions, including anger and impulsivity.
Lynn uses an integrative, client-centered approach. The client’s priorities guide the work while she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. The goal is to build on existing strengths and test strategies that fit the person’s life.
She emphasizes measurable progress so people stay engaged. Typical work includes practicing new responses to triggers, shifting unhelpful thinking, and developing clearer communication patterns. Lynn supports people through transitions such as fertility concerns, family of origin issues, or first responder stress.
Her long experience includes helping people with grief, gender dysphoria questions, HIV/AIDS related concerns, and complex family problems. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical change step by step.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to small actions that align with their values. It can help with anger that comes from avoidance, avoidance-based stress, and issues like grief or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behavior. It gives concrete exercises to test beliefs, change patterns, and reduce reactive responses such as snapping or escalation.Picking the right approach is part of the work. Lynn collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try first and adjusts based on what the client finds useful. That means trying practical exercises together, reviewing how they went, and shifting methods when something is not working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. For people managing family or work demands, that flexibility can help maintain momentum while practicing new ways to respond to anger and stress.
