About Kaneesha

Kaneesha Craig is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with 15 years of experience. She uses a person-centered style and focuses on practical steps that help people move forward. Her manner is warm and direct, and she aims to build a partnership with each person she sees.

She works with a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, addiction, grief, and stress.

Background and approach

She also helps people facing parenting challenges, career strain, sleep and eating problems, and identity or intimacy-related struggles. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment and blended family challenges, caregiver stress, first responder issues, and coping after disaster. Kaneesha draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space where people can talk honestly about their lives.

She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and build different habits. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change behaviors such as substance use, and Solution-Focused Therapy helps set concrete, short-term goals. Her background includes work in hospital settings with people who have chronic mental health needs and roles in community agencies supporting people adjusting to life changes.

That mix informs a practical approach - she listens, helps clarify goals, and teaches skills to use between sessions. Kaneesha offers sessions in English and works with international clients. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Online support

How Kaneesha’s Approaches Work Online

Kaneesha blends person-centered listening with methods that teach concrete skills. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful, nonjudgmental listening so people can talk through what matters most and decide their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match goals and preferences, and adjusts strategies as progress is made. Clients set the pace and the focus in a joint clinical partnership.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people pace their reflections between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
