More about John

I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in New York State. Through my experiences during my master's degree program, 1,200 hrs of internship, over 3,000 hrs of supervised counseling for licensure, I have dealt with many issues in a wide variety of clients. Anxiety, depression, relationship and sexual issues, anger management, motivational issues, etc. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families of all ages and backgrounds.
As a counselor I always give the benefit of the doubt. I assume that making the choice to engage with a counselor means that clients are ready to do the work. This means that they will do the homework that is assigned and make a concerted effort to help themselves. My approach is varied because I believe that it is the counselor's responsibility to find a therapy that best fits the client rather than try and fit a client to a specific therapy. I most often use cognitive behavioral techniques, rational-emotive behavioral techniques, client-centered (Rogerian), dialectical behavior therapy, and Gestalt techniques in my counseling.
I believe that we are in this together, working to empower you to make the desired changes. This process is not always easy, but discomfort equals growth. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
