About John
John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 40 years of experience. He keeps sessions straightforward and practical to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addiction, or problems with intimacy and relationships.
He uses clear, goal-focused conversation and tools to help people notice what matters and take small steps forward. Sessions are conversational and direct when needed.
How John works
He also brings a calm, accepting presence and will add lightness or humor when it fits the moment. Over four decades he has worked in many settings including outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital care.
That variety shaped a flexible approach and a comfort with complex life situations such as adoption and foster care needs, aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, dissociation, and difficulties tied to family of origin. Clinical methods include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, and a client-centered stance.
He adapts methods to each person’s situation and goals rather than following one fixed plan. People often come for help with eating and sleeping problems, parenting and fatherhood strains, work and career stress, ADHD, codependency and commitment issues, or problems after divorce and separation. He focuses on practical coping strategies and steady progress toward the changes people want.

Online support options
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when people feel stuck by anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. You and the therapist decide together which strategies feel most useful and adjust them as needed.
Online therapy gives flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversations when you want more direct interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick adjustments between sessions, or a way to stay connected during busy weeks. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a caregiving schedule, or a life with limited free time.
