About John

John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of experience. He helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, and issues around self esteem and parenting. He keeps a straightforward style and aims to be down-to-earth and approachable for those who are nervous about starting therapy.

He has worked in many settings, including outpatient, inpatient, residential, and hospital emergency care. That breadth means he has seen a wide range of concerns and practical ways to address them. He usually leans toward cognitive behavioral techniques but adapts to what each person needs.

Sessions tend to be direct but warm. He says humor can help when it fits, and he will be candid when that serves progress. The goal he offers is clear: foster change through motivation and action, with steady support along the way.

John draws on several methods to match each client. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can help with values and commitment to change. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships. Mindfulness and client-centered approaches show up in how he helps people tune into feelings and make choices.

If you want someone who balances practical strategies with an accepting manner, his experience may be a fit. He encourages people to take the first step and will work with you to set realistic goals and next steps.

How his approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation by teaching practical exercises and small actions to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems running. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people practice different ways of relating and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together you decide what to try first and how to adjust as you go so the plan matches real life needs.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know what is available. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It can also make it simpler to use homework tools and practice exercises between meetings. If you want to explore how a particular approach like ACT or CBT could work for you in an online setting, he will discuss practical next steps and tailor the plan to your schedule and goals.
