About John
John ODonoghue is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. He has 27 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, addiction, and struggles with self esteem. He encourages those who reach out to acknowledge that seeking help is a strong and practical step. His tone is direct and compassionate, aimed at people who want clear support and honest conversation.
John says life change and loss taught him a lot, and those experiences inform how he talks with clients. He believes trust is the backbone of therapy and aims to offer nonjudgmental, steady support while people work toward their goals. Sessions can be longer term or focused short-term work depending on what someone needs.
His training includes two masters degrees in psychology and counseling psychology, and he holds the credentials LMFT and LCMHC. He describes using a range of approaches to match a person’s situation rather than relying on a single method. That flexibility allows him to shift between deeper exploration and practical problem solving.
John has particular experience with relationship struggles including dating and non-monogamous arrangements, as well as with addictions across many presentations. He has also worked with workplace and career issues as an employee assistance program counselor, and with grief, trauma, anger, and depression.
People can expect a collaborative process where their values and inner wisdom are respected. He emphasizes helping clients build self-acceptance, self-confidence, and clearer direction as they move forward.
