About Kaneesha
Kaneesha Craig is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as relationships, family concerns, stress and anxiety, and coping with life changes. She also addresses substance use, mood disorders, grief, ADHD, and intimacy-related and parenting concerns.
Kaneesha has worked in hospital and community agency settings. That range means she has experience with people managing chronic mental health needs and with those adjusting to new life circumstances. Her background includes supporting first responders, caregivers, and people facing family of origin issues.
Her practice centers on client-centered work. She focuses on respectful, collaborative conversations that encourage people to take ownership of behaviors they want to change. Kaneesha uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift patterns of thinking and acting that keep problems in place.
She also draws on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused methods to set concrete, short-term goals. Sessions typically involve talking through current concerns, setting achievable steps, and checking progress from session to session.
Kaneesha works with adults who want practical ways to manage symptoms and daily stresses. She helps people who are sorting through family patterns, attachment questions, abandonment or adoption-related concerns, and the fallout from relationship problems. Her approach is direct and collaborative, aimed at creating clear next steps for life outside of therapy.
How Kaneesha’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and prioritizes the client's goals and values. This approach can help with relationship issues, family of origin patterns, and questions about identity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to see what helps. It works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with sleep, eating, or motivation by using practical exercises and homework between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify ambivalence and strengthen their reasons for change. It is often used alongside other methods when someone is weighing decisions about substance use, commitment, or lifestyle shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kaneesha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than assuming one method will be used long term.
