John Moore

John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of clinical work. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strains, career concerns, and parenting challenges. John speaks plainly and aims to make starting therapy feel less daunting for someone reaching out for support.

He adapts his approach to each person instead of using a single method for everyone. Cognitive behavioral ideas often guide sessions, but he also draws on acceptance and commitment, attachment, client-centered, and mindfulness approaches when those fit better. Sessions are practical and focused on change, with steps people can try between meetings.

John has worked in outpatient clinics, inpatient units, residential programs, and emergency hospital settings. That breadth of experience shapes how he assesses immediate needs and longer-term goals. He tends to be laid back and accepting, yet direct when clarity or action is needed.

Humor appears in sessions when it feels right, offered in a respectful way that never undercuts the client. He emphasizes that therapy requires client motivation and follow-through, and he supports people as they take those steps.

People seeking help for life transitions, trauma, grief, parenting strains, ADHD-related struggles, or intimacy and communication problems will find a therapist who balances practical techniques with a warm, straightforward style.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, career decisions, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for shifting unhelpful patterns, which can help depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and addictions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and communication and can help with attachment issues, relationship strains, and fatherhood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust plans over time based on what is helpful. This is a shared process rather than a single fixed path.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use methods like CBT homework and mindfulness practices between sessions so therapy integrates into everyday life.
