About John
John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with forty years of experience. He speaks plainly and listens carefully to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or ADHD. He aims to create a calm, straightforward space where someone can talk through immediate problems and plan next steps.
He has worked in outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings. That range taught him to adapt his approach to different needs and levels of distress.
Background and approach
He uses a mix of methods rather than one fixed style, matching techniques to what each person says is most helpful. John leans on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful patterns and practice new behaviors. He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them.
Attachment-based and client-centered ways of working shape how he builds trust and focuses the conversation. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He is generally laid back and accepting, and will be direct when clarity is needed.
He sometimes uses gentle humor to ease tension, never to minimize someone’s experience. John emphasizes practical change. He expects clients to take action between sessions and offers clear strategies to try.
He supports people through life transitions, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and work-related stress.
How his approaches fit into online therapy
John often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors. CBT suits issues like anxiety, depression, anger, and many ADHD-related challenges because it breaks problems into small, practical steps.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. ACT can help when worry or frustration gets in the way of daily goals and relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a standard session feel and visual cues. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or reaching out between scheduled sessions when needed. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps and real-world change.
