About John

John Looney is an LPCC licensed counselor based in Ohio with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. He uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help people feel steadier and more connected to their goals.

John prefers short, clear sessions that focus on what matters most to each person. He listens first, then works with clients to choose approaches that fit their situation.

Background and approach

That can mean learning new coping skills, trying different ways to think about problems, or addressing painful memories more directly. He draws from several approaches including attachment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and EMDR. Those methods are used to improve relationships, reduce intense emotions, and process traumatic experiences at a pace each client chooses.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which helps people fit therapy into busy lives. People will find practical homework, skill practice, and calm, focused conversation between visits. John works with a broad range of concerns such as grief, parenting stress, career issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy-related questions.

He also addresses specific topics like abandonment, attachment issues, body image, and communication problems. To begin, a short questionnaire and a scheduling step get the process started. John aims to create a steady, collaborative process so people can make changes that last.

Approaches John names

Online support

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

John uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and emotional reactions; this can help when people feel stuck in repeating trust or closeness problems. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. EMDR is included as one of the methods he uses to help people process traumatic memories in a paced way some clients find useful.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and personal preferences and then suggest a plan. That plan can change as progress is made so clients and therapist decide which methods fit best over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone can be lighter on bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be used for brief check-ins or when written reflection feels more natural. These options make scheduling simpler and help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and travel commitments.
