About Craig
Dr. Craig Landry is a California LCSW with 27 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. He also pays attention to issues such as caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and guilt and shame.
Dr. Landry focuses on straightforward conversations about what is happening now. He uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and set small goals. Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on clear next steps rather than long theory talks.
His approach draws on client-centered work to follow each person's concerns. He brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge thinking patterns that worsen anxiety or shame. He also uses solution-focused and motivational strategies when people want concrete, short-term progress.
When trauma or past harm is part of the picture, he uses trauma-focused methods aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning. He will talk through how much emphasis to put on past events versus current coping, and adjust the plan as needed.
People who choose Dr. Landry can expect direct, plain language about options and next steps. He asks about goals early and revisits them as work progresses. If you want a therapist who combines practical tools with open conversation about guilt, shame, and self-judgment, his practice is oriented toward that kind of work.

Dr. Landry will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, problem-solving, or trauma-focused steps and change course as needed.
