About Jeannie

Jeannie Craig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who centers her work on building stronger relationships and clearer communication. She draws on relationship-focused tools alongside practical therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, and the everyday strains of life.

Background and approach

She helps people tackle anger, depression, and major life changes in straightforward sessions. Jeannie uses approaches that emphasize listening and collaboration to sort out what matters most to each person.

Sessions aim to make thoughts and feelings easier to talk about and act on. Her background includes seven years of professional counseling experience in a range of concerns.

She often addresses issues like ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy-related problems, and struggles with self-esteem. She also works with concerns such as body image, communication problems, codependency, and infidelity.

Jeannie blends client-centered listening with practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and techniques that support emotional regulation. She also uses elements of mindfulness and relationship-focused methods to help people repair connection and manage conflict.

The focus is on clear, doable steps rather than theory-heavy sessions. People meet her for both short-term problem solving and longer work on life goals or recurring patterns.

She encourages honest conversation and works to create a tolerable, nonjudgmental space. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make it calmer and more manageable for each person.

Using relationship work and skills online

Jeannie brings together relationship-focused methods and practical therapy approaches to work with people online. The Gottman Method offers tools for improving communication, reducing repeated conflict cycles, and rebuilding connection in relationships. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and understanding, giving people space to share what matters and to set goals that fit their life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. These approaches are described and tried together with each person to find what feels most useful for their situation. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, and other obligations while still getting consistent care.
