About John

John Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with forty years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addictions. He speaks plainly and keeps sessions straightforward so parents and busy adults can follow along easily.

He has worked in outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings. That variety shaped a practical style focused on what works day to day. He usually uses cognitive behavioral methods but adapts his approach to each person's needs.

John aims for a relaxed atmosphere and brings direct feedback when it will help. He sometimes uses humor appropriately and never at a client's expense. He expects effort and action from the person in therapy and supports those steps along the way.

In sessions he helps people with sleep and eating concerns, anger, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy and self-esteem issues. He also supports people coping with career change, parenting stresses, ADHD, and life transitions. He has additional experience around adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, and attachment-related problems.

His work often includes addressing communication problems, codependency, commitment concerns, and fatherhood issues. He can assist with complex family of origin matters and separation or divorce adjustments. The focus is practical change, clear strategies, and steady support throughout the process.

How approach and online work come together

John commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new actions that change results. CBT is action-oriented and often suits stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action; it helps people live toward what matters even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust. This approach can help with intimacy, attachment issues, and family of origin concerns by clarifying patterns and practicing different responses. John will collaborate with each person to find which approach or combination fits best, based on goals and life circumstances.

Check the session options before booking to confirm which formats he currently offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Working remotely also lets people join from different locations when that helps keep appointments consistent. A therapist will help tailor the work and the format so sessions fit into everyday life and support steady progress.
