John Looney, LPCC

John Looney is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor practicing in Ohio. He brings seven years of counseling experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

John uses straightforward, practical conversations to identify what feels stuck. He listens first and then works with each person to find approaches that fit their life and goals. Sessions move at a steady, calm pace and focus on skills and perspectives that can be used between meetings.

His background includes work with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar challenges, attention differences like ADHD, and grief or caregiver stress. He also addresses concerns around body image, eating and sleeping, and sexual or intimacy-related issues when they come up in counseling.

John draws on several therapy approaches to match each person's needs, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. He combines listening with practical exercises and coping strategies.

People who connect well with John tend to want a collaborative process. He helps set clear goals, practices skills in sessions, and checks progress over time. To begin, he asks a few questions to match needs to an appropriate plan and then schedules sessions based on availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how past connections shape current reactions; it can be useful for relationship stress, trust issues, and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, using empathic listening and reflection so clients steer the pace and focus; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins from wherever one is located within the therapist’s service area. Licensed professionals can use a mix of conversation, skill practice, and brief exercises that translate well to appointments that fit into everyday schedules.
