About John
John Moore is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship concerns. He brings a calm, straightforward style and encourages practical steps toward change. He emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s pace.
With four decades of experience, he has worked in outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings. That breadth gives him a clear view of how problems show up across different parts of life.
Background and approach
He uses that perspective to tailor each session to what the person needs right now. His work often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness, but he adapts methods to fit each individual. Sessions can focus on learning new coping skills, shifting unhelpful thinking, improving communication, or managing mood and cravings.
Humor and direct feedback are used when helpful and appropriate. John describes his approach as accepting and practical. He asks questions, listens, and then suggests steps people can try between sessions.
He expects clients to take action outside of sessions and offers guidance to make that work realistic. People who reach out should expect clear conversation about goals and measurable steps forward. He values steady progress and works with people on parenting challenges, career transitions, intimacy concerns, attention difficulties, and the long-term effects of trauma and attachment struggles.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It teaches skills to commit to actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks problems into manageable steps, teaches practical coping tools, and is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and unhealthy habits.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people find their own solutions for relationship, self-esteem, and identity concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to needs and preferences rather than use a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Video can support eye contact and real-time interaction, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make scheduling easier and let work continue across different life demands.
