About John
John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of experience. He speaks plainly, listens carefully, and helps people who are feeling stuck by focusing on practical steps they can take now. He aims to be straightforward and warm, using humor when it fits and being direct when clarity is needed.
He has worked across outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings. That variety means he has seen many ways stress and anxiety show up, including depression, addictions, anger, and relationship struggles. He also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, parenting strains, career changes, and issues connected to adoption and caregiving.
John often uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful habits. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, mindfulness, and a client-centered stance to match techniques to each person. Sessions focus on choices you can make, small experiments, and skills you can use between meetings.
He expects effort from the person who comes for help and offers steady, practical support through that work. His style is relaxed but purposeful, and he aims to make therapy a real, usable part of everyday life.
Clients in Virginia can expect clear conversation about goals, a plan that changes as needed, and straightforward guidance aimed at real-world results.
How therapy approaches carry online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-guided actions. It can help with anxiety, depression, codependency, and coping with life changes by building small, meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches skills to change patterns that cause distress; it is useful for stress, anger, addictions, and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections, which can be helpful for intimacy issues, family of origin concerns, and caregiving stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out what methods fit your goals, needs, and preferences, and adapt the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process that adjusts over time rather than a fixed prescription.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel to an office. Many people find remote sessions help them practice skills in their day-to-day routines, while still getting structured guidance from a licensed professional.
