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 manage anxiety, stress, and everyday challenges. He uses a calm, down-to-earth style and matches his approach to each person's needs.

He has worked in outpatient, inpatient, residential, and hospital emergency settings. That history gave him experience with depression, addictions, anger, trauma, and relationship struggles. He typically draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness, but also uses acceptance and attachment-based ideas when they fit.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. He will point out patterns, suggest skills to practice, and check in on how things are changing. He can be direct when needed and also bring gentle humor when it helps keep things human.

John emphasizes that therapy is a collaborative effort. He focuses on what a person wants to change and helps set small, doable steps toward those goals. People looking to address sleep, parenting stress, self-esteem, career shifts, or phobias may find his practical focus useful.

Across his work he values steady support and realistic planning. He encourages people to take action between sessions and offers feedback along the way. The goal is useful change, not quick fixes, and he works at a pace that fits each person's circumstances.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take steps toward those values even when anxiety or fear is present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks down problems into manageable skills to reduce anxiety, tackle phobias, and change unhelpful behavior patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit. That collaboration lets adjustments be made over time so the methods match what actually helps the client make progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when visual cues and interactive exercises help. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and keep continuity while working toward change.
