About John
John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with forty years of experience. He focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns. He speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and manageable.
He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. He also uses acceptance and mindfulness practices to help people live with difficult feelings while moving toward their values.
Background and approach
Attachment-based work appears in his approach when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current struggles. Sessions tend to be calm and down-to-earth. He describes his style as relaxed and accepting but willing to be direct when a clear push or change is needed.
He sometimes uses gentle humor to ease tension when it fits the moment. John has experience across outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings. That background shapes a practical focus on coping skills and problem solving for daily life.
He encourages motivation and action while offering steady support through change. People often come with issues like grief, addiction concerns, anger, sleep or eating problems, ADHD, career stress, or challenges tied to adoption and fatherhood. He helps people set realistic steps and track progress toward clearer goals.

Online approaches that fit parenting and life stress
John often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful reactions, clarify values, and take small steps toward what matters despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and trying practical experiments to change them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily routine. Over the first few sessions he will check what helps and adjust plans so work feels useful and realistic.
Online work can be flexible to fit parenting life and busy schedules. Video calls let therapists see nonverbal cues and support deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit during a break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to practice new skills in real time and to keep therapy consistent around family demands.
