More about John
- 20 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
My name is John and I am a licensed professional counselor. I have 20 years of professional work experience. Over that time I have developed skills to help clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, finding motivation, exploring self-worth, recovering from addiction and combating depression.
My methods include Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamics, and person-centered therapy. I often utilize cognitive therapies, especially in their mindfulness-based forms, like ACT and DBT. But everything from simple conversation to behavioral strategies might be used, as long as the methods are suitable to your needs.
Across these last two decades, I have learned that people are fascinatingly different from one another. Yet, almost any one of us can thrive in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Compassionate interaction can result in transformative moments, and to me, those moments are some of the best things in life.
You are worth knowing and worth understanding, and the fact that you want to grow has me interested in you already. I am honored to be part of the change you want to make.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Fantastic, very personable, very insightful
I don’t have the words to express how grateful I am for John’s experience and encouragement. John is always uplifting and has a great sense of humor. This has been a game changer and has saved my marriage. I cannot thank you enough sir!
John puts me at ease, never pushes and truly listens to our conversations.
I had a hard time finding a therapist I connected well with, until I met John! He has a great way of reading body language and asks the questions that help you better understand what the problem is. And is an amazing musician and songwriter! Thanks for the help John!
John is insightful and relatable. He really listens to me. His assessments are straight forward, fair, and keep me honest with myself.
I have never had any therapy before. John has been fantastic to talk to and is making this very easy to get started. He has gone above and beyond my expectations. I wish I would have done this sooner. I will be referring him to my boss tomorrow. Thank you!
He gives my emotions and feelings words!
