About John

John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of experience. He aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and calm, and he reminds people that reaching out takes courage. He is approachable and often uses a relaxed style, but he can be direct when a situation calls for it.

He typically uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors. He also draws on acceptance and commitment, attachment, client-centered, and mindfulness strategies when those fit a person's goals. Sessions focus on practical steps that can be used between meetings, not only talk.

Moore has worked in outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings across many stages of life. That background informs how he adapts sessions for things like depression, anxiety, relationship and communication problems, addictions, anger, trauma, grief, sleep and eating struggles, and major life transitions.

He says therapy is about change and that progress requires motivation and action from the person seeking help. He aims to support that effort by offering clear feedback, collaborative planning, and occasional humor when appropriate. He helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and review what does and does not work.

People who prefer a practical, straightforward approach may find his style a good fit. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details to make sure they match your needs.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How his approaches adapt to online work

John often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that fuel depression and anxiety and then practice different behaviors. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating, which can help with intimacy and communication problems. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple attention and grounding practices that can reduce stress and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs and goals. This can mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting pace based on how someone responds.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to arrange. Therapists and clients can try different ways of meeting and adjust as needed to find what works best.
