About John

Background and approach

With five years of clinical practice as an LPC, he draws on approaches such as Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally focused ideas to address stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. He frames therapy as a tailored process, shaping conversations and plans to reflect each client’s priorities and circumstances.

John brings focused attention to a wide range of concerns including family conflict, self-esteem and motivation, addiction and substance issues, grief, trauma, intimacy-related problems, and career or life transitions. He also attends to more specific areas like ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and a variety of personality and family-of-origin dynamics.

His work reflects respect, sensitivity, and a commitment to empowering people to make meaningful change. Clients who seek his support can expect an approach that balances practical strategies with deeper exploration of internal experience, helping them build skills and insight over time.

Combining practical methods and inner work online



Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an approach that helps people notice and dialogue with different internal parts to reduce internal conflict and foster self-leadership; it can be useful for struggles with anxiety, trauma-related patterns, and relational dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can pursue their own goals at their own pace, which often supports change in areas like self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it practical for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and coping skills development.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan over time to find what helps most. This collaborative planning aims to blend depth work and skill-building in ways that match a client’s needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and varying comfort levels with communication styles. These formats can make consistent care more accessible for people with busy lives, those who travel, or anyone who prefers remote sessions while still engaging in evidence-informed therapeutic work.
