About Craig
Dr. Craig Landry is a California licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping men and others navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and life transitions. He greets people with respect and calm, and aims to make the first step into therapy feel understandable and manageable.
He uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent and what small changes could make daily life easier. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a fixed script. He emphasizes practical tools for coping, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence.
With 27 years of experience, Dr. Landry has worked with people facing a wide range of challenges. These include chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, grief and end-of-life issues, first responder and veteran concerns, and difficulties around intimacy and trust. He also addresses isolation, life purpose, midlife transitions, and fertility-related stress.
His approach draws on client-centered listening alongside methods that focus on solutions, motivation, and trauma recovery. That mix aims to balance immediate problem-solving with deeper emotional processing. He adapts the pace to each person's comfort level and priorities.
People who value clear, practical guidance and a calm, respectful therapeutic tone may find his style a good fit. He invites prospective clients to take the next step and start a brief matching process to set up an initial session.
How his approaches shape online work
Client-centered therapy places the client's concerns and goals at the center of the conversation. It involves listening closely, reflecting what is heard, and adjusting the plan to fit what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort priorities and feel heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and depression because it gives clear steps and exercises people can try between sessions. Motivation-focused work, including motivational interviewing techniques, helps when someone feels stuck or struggles to follow through on changes by exploring values and building internal reasons for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Landry will collaborate with each person to weigh options and try what fits their needs and preferences. He adapts methods over time based on what is helpful and what the client wants to focus on.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone choose audio-only or video-style meetings depending on comfort and bandwidth, but confirm those choices before scheduling.
