01About John
John Moore welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. He writes directly and keeps sessions straightforward. He aims to help people reduce stress, manage anxiety, and handle life changes so they can move forward.
He brings forty years of clinical work in many settings to his practice. That experience includes outpatient and inpatient care, residential programs, and hospital emergency work. John uses clear, practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered principles.
Background and approach
In sessions he listens first to what matters most to the person in front of him. He then uses tools and exercises that match each client's goals. That may mean learning ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, practicing present-moment mindfulness, or exploring patterns from relationships and attachment history.
John is described as calm and direct. He supports people while also asking for the effort change requires. He sometimes uses humor when it fits the situation and never at someone else's expense.
He works with a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, grief, trauma, anger, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting stresses, career decisions, and attention-related challenges. John offers practical steps, short exercises, and steady guidance to help people build better coping skills. Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life changes.
He encourages people to try small actions between meetings and to track what helps. Over time clients shape a plan that fits their daily life and values.

04Online support
How John’s approaches work online
John uses cognitive behavioral ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-based action. CBT focuses on practical skills and small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. ACT encourages people to accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values, which is useful for coping with grief, avoidance, or life transitions.He also draws on attachment-based and client-centered principles when needed, offering a calm, listening stance that explores relationship patterns and emotional needs. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy accessible on a flexible schedule. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat or messaging can support brief check-ins, homework discussion, or step-by-step coaching between meetings. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily life while trying approaches that can be practiced between sessions.
