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 manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and relationship and family concerns. His tone is straightforward and steady, and he works to make therapy a place where people feel heard and understood.

He typically uses cognitive behavioral therapy, but he adapts his approach to each person. Sessions mix practical skills with discussion about what's getting in the way of change. He aims to be direct when needed and to bring lightness when it helps the work progress.

Moore has worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital care. That background shaped his comfort with a wide range of problems, from trauma and grief to sleep and eating concerns. He also focuses on issues that touch family dynamics, parenting, adoption and foster care, and fatherhood challenges.

People often come for help with self-esteem, career transitions, coping with life changes, or attention and focus struggles such as ADHD. He draws on acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-based ideas, mindfulness, narrative work, and a client-centered stance to tailor plans to each person.

Therapy with Moore asks for motivation and action from the client. He helps people set clear goals, try new behaviors between sessions, and check what works. The aim is steady progress toward better daily functioning and clearer relationships.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

John often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and attention concerns by teaching skills to change how someone thinks and acts.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for stress, chronic worry, and life changes where motivation and clarity of values matter.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time. Together they decide whether CBT, ACT, attachment-focused work, mindfulness, or some combination fits best.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for focused therapy work and richer interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, while live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or maintaining momentum between longer sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy days and different life rhythms.
