About John

John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of experience. He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or stuck in difficult patterns. He also works with concerns related to intimacy, relationships, addictions, trauma, grief, sleep and eating, and life transitions. His tone is straightforward and approachable, with a mix of direct feedback and appropriate moments of humor.

John adapts care to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. He often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and incorporates mindfulness and acceptance strategies when they fit the situation. Attachment-based ideas guide his thinking about relationship and intimacy problems.

He has worked across outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings. That breadth of settings shaped a practical style focused on clear goals and doable steps. He tends to be laid back and accepting, and will be direct when needed to help clients move forward.

Sessions emphasize small changes that add up over time. John encourages people to take active steps between meetings and talks through concrete strategies for coping, communication, and managing emotions. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where motivation and action are essential.

Clients typically notice the mix of practical tools and steady support. John aims to make the work feel manageable, whether someone is dealing with grief, ADHD challenges, parenting strain, or intimacy-related issues.

How John’s approaches translate to online care

John often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing step-by-step techniques for anxiety, depression, and habit change. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Attachment-based ideas inform work on intimacy and relationship patterns by looking at how early bonds affect current connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then adapt methods over time. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as progress unfolds and new needs emerge.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example giving a quieter place to check in, allowing shorter follow-up conversations, or removing travel time so therapy fits a lunch break. Talk with the therapist about what schedule and format best match daily routines and communication preferences.
