About John
John Anderson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He uses straightforward, practical methods to help people cope with life changes and re-find balance. John leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in sessions.
He focuses on clear, manageable steps that people can try between meetings. He prefers a relaxed, down-to-earth style and meets people where they are in their lives.
How John works
Over two decades he has worked in community mental health settings, supporting adults and teens with mood concerns, trauma, and motivation struggles. That background informs his approach to problems like isolation, caregiver stress, and issues tied to midlife and aging. Sessions often emphasize identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing small behavioral changes, and building on practical strengths.
He also addresses concerns such as divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, money-related stress, and life-purpose questions. John aims to partner with each person to set realistic goals and to track progress. He encourages simple, achievable strategies and steady effort rather than quick fixes.
If someone is looking for a calm, direct counselor who focuses on usable tools, he may be a fit.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
John uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior, try small experiments, and change what gets in the way of daily functioning. CBT is helpful for anxiety, mood issues, and stress because it focuses on practical skills and short-term shifts.He also applies Solution-Focused Therapy to identify what is already working and to build on those strengths. This approach zeroes in on clear goals and small, repeatable steps that move a person closer to the life they want.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. John will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then tailor methods to fit those needs. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging is useful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options let people use different formats for skill practice, brief problem solving, or routine follow-ups.
