About John

John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of experience. He aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, addiction, anger, or changes in life. His tone is straightforward and kind, and he focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

John adapts his work to each person rather than using one fixed method. He often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify patterns and try new behaviors. He also uses acceptance and commitment tools and mindfulness practices to help people live by their values and reduce reactivity.

Clients can expect a relaxed, accepting atmosphere along with clear, direct feedback when it’s helpful. He may use humor at appropriate moments but never at a client’s expense. He emphasizes that change requires effort from the person in therapy, and he offers steady support through that effort.

His background spans outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings. That breadth gives him experience with many concerns, including eating and sleeping problems, parenting and fatherhood issues, attachment and family-of-origin themes, and attention-related difficulties such as ADHD.

Sessions focus on identifying what matters to the client, developing concrete coping skills, and taking small, manageable steps toward change. People who want practical, no-nonsense guidance coupled with empathetic listening may find his style a good fit.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

John often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior experiments to change outcomes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, impulsive behavior, and many everyday problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach he uses to help people clarify what matters to them and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can help with worry, avoidance, and motivation issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That collaboration may mean trying different techniques and adjusting over time to find what helps most.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. In general, online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to practice mindfulness or behavioral experiments in the places where life actually happens. Ask about the available session options when you schedule so sessions can be arranged to fit daily routines and treatment goals.
