About John

How John works
He also uses client-centered and existential ideas to focus on personal values and meaning. Hypnotherapy is another option he offers when appropriate. When addiction is part of the problem he offers clinical assessment, harm reduction strategies, psychotherapy, and support group options.
That includes help for drug and alcohol problems and process addictions like gambling or problematic internet use. He works to match services to each person’s recovery goals. Sessions include practical teaching about how problems develop and what to try differently.
Plans are individualized and built around the person’s needs and goals. He can do more in-depth psychological assessments if they would help guide treatment. Dr.

Online support options
Approaches you can use remotely
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and panic attacks.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and which methods feel like the best fit. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps the person make steady progress.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers audio only. Live chat and text messaging can fit short check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or ongoing written reflection between longer sessions.
