About John
John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of experience. He greets people warmly and focuses on straightforward help for stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. He aims to make the first step easier for a worried parent who feels overwhelmed.
He blends practical, goal-focused techniques with a narrative view of problems. That means he helps people tell the story of what they’re facing, spot patterns that get in the way, and try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
He often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to shift thoughts and behaviors, and he brings acceptance and mindfulness tools when helpful. John also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. He works with issues such as grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, caregiving stress, and fatherhood concerns.
He adapts sessions to what each person needs rather than sticking to one method. Sessions are down-to-earth and sometimes direct. He uses a relaxed style and will add some humor when it fits, but he won’t joke at someone’s expense.
He expects effort from the person seeking help and offers steady support through the change process. Over the years he has practiced in outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency settings. That variety informs how he plans treatment, matches techniques to real-life problems, and helps people develop lasting coping skills.

Online session options
How narrative and action-focused approaches work online
John often uses Narrative Therapy to help people describe the stories that shape their reactions and relationships. This approach helps separate the person from the problem so they can test new ways of living and relating. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing persistent stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will listen to a person’s goals and preferences and then suggest which methods might fit best. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy moves forward, with techniques added or dropped based on progress and needs.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when observing body language matters. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good option when a short check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection and quick check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work consistently when schedules change.
