John Sundeen, LPCC

John Sundeen is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with six years of clinical experience. He works in California and focuses on practical ways to make daily life feel more manageable. John aims to help people find clearer footing when stress or depression feels overwhelming.

He believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on building on what already works and trying small changes that add up. John gives straightforward guidance and listens for what matters most to the client.

Many people come to him for anxiety, parenting struggles, relationship concerns, or trouble with motivation and addictive behaviors. He also helps with grief, trauma, self-esteem, ADHD, and adjusting to life changes. Conversations are goal-oriented and centered on what the client wants to change.

John uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness methods. That mix lets him offer both practical skills and values-based planning. He works with each person to choose techniques that fit their life and goals.

Getting started is straightforward: a short questionnaire helps match needs and priorities, then scheduling follows. John aims to make sessions useful and down-to-earth so people can try tools between meetings and notice real differences.

Practical approaches for online care

John often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. He also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings remain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their life. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let sessions feel more like in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick reflections, tracking progress, or for people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to keep working on skills between meetings.
