About John
John Kleber is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with six years of experience working with adults. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He also lists codependency among his areas of focus and supports people dealing with communication and control issues.
He has a background working across settings with different age groups, including time supporting preteens and teens in treatment centers, schools, and communities. That earlier work included helping with anger and behavior challenges as well as grief and pressure tied to athletics. More recently he has provided outpatient counseling for individual and relational concerns.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to anxiety and obsessive worries, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy concepts for depression and personality-related struggles. He also draws on Gottman Method concepts when couples work is part of the work, and will incorporate Christian faith when a client wants that included.
In sessions he talks through how a person relates to painful thoughts and feelings, and looks for practical steps that help reduce being stuck. This often means small experiments between sessions, clearer communication patterns, and focused skill work for stress and impulse control. He also helps people explore issues around fatherhood, caregiving stress, and feelings of emptiness.
John works in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. His practice notes that international clients are not currently accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the site's booking flow.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It helps people who get stuck in worry or avoidance to try small, meaningful steps that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and mood, and uses practical exercises to reduce depressive symptoms and manage impulsivity.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. If something does not feel helpful, adjustments are made together so the work matches your needs.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises and between-session tasks so progress can happen in everyday life, whether sessions are remote or in person.
