John Moore, LCPC, LPC

John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of experience. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, or changes that come with aging and caregiving. He aims to make first contact manageable and straightforward for worried callers and family members.

John draws on a practical, problem-focused style. He often uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice patterns and try small changes that make daily life easier. He also uses acceptance-based and mindfulness ideas when people need tools to handle strong feelings rather than eliminate them immediately.

In sessions he keeps the tone relaxed and down-to-earth. He will be direct when a clear challenge is needed and will bring a bit of humor at appropriate times. His work covers a wide range of concerns, including addictions, sleep and eating problems, parenting stresses, intimacy issues, and ADHD-related struggles.

John has worked in outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings, so he is used to varied situations and levels of need. He adapts his approach to each person's life, goals, and pace rather than using a single fixed method.

People who meet with him can expect practical suggestions, straightforward conversation, and collaborative planning. He emphasizes action and motivation while offering steady support throughout the change process.

How different approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) lays out clear links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns, which helps with mood, sleep, and anxiety problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how past bonds influence current interactions, which can be helpful for intimacy and family-related concerns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and daily life and will suggest methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and can shift if an approach is not producing the hoped-for progress.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue care during life transitions or when attending to caregiving responsibilities, while still focusing on practical strategies and exercises that can be used between meetings.
