Janet Craig, LCSW

Janet Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 35 years of social work and counseling experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, relationship strain, depression, ADHD, and other life changes. She also works with issues like self-esteem, sleeping problems, anger, and career concerns.

She has long experience across settings such as child welfare, hospice, and schools. That background means she is used to practical problems families and individuals face. Sessions focus on clear goals and down-to-earth steps rather than clinical jargon. Janet listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people try small changes that fit day-to-day life.

Parents, especially those with teenagers, are a frequent focus. She helps parents sort through behavior problems, communication breakdowns, blended family concerns, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with bereavement, end-of-life matters, and the aftermath of loss.

Janet uses approaches that emphasize acceptance, present-moment awareness, and finding workable solutions. That often means learning short exercises to reduce worry, practicing new ways to talk with family members, and setting achievable goals. She draws on decades of hands-on practice to keep recommendations practical.

People who prefer straightforward conversation and concrete strategies tend to do well in her sessions. She encourages clients to set their own goals and tracks progress in plain terms. Before booking, people should confirm the current session options available.
