About John
John Looney is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. John also lists codependency among his focus areas and helps people who find themselves putting others first to their own detriment.
John uses straightforward conversation to get to what matters. He listens to how patterns show up in daily life. Then he helps people try small changes that can make routines and relationships feel less overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as talking things through.
His work combines attachment-based ideas with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral tools. That means John pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions while also helping people test new habits and thoughts. He may use emotion regulation and grounding skills when trauma or intense feelings are present.
People who come to John often want clearer boundaries, better communication, or relief from constant people-pleasing. He also addresses related concerns such as grief, intimacy issues, ADHD, burnout, and caregiving stress. John mentions work with diverse sexual identities and with kink-aware topics when relevant.
Sessions are designed to be practical and direct. He asks about daily routines, relationship patterns, and what the person hopes to change. From there he and the client pick approaches to try and track small wins over time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present reactions and comfort with closeness. Online sessions using this lens help people notice attachment patterns and practice new responses to triggers in current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In an online session CBT often involves tracking daily thoughts, testing small experiments between sessions, and practicing specific skills to reduce anxiety or challenge unhelpful thinking.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist plan together which tools to emphasize and how to measure progress over time.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into workdays or caregiving schedules because they cut out travel time. Others prefer not being on camera for shorter check-ins, or choose longer sessions when they have more time. Talk with the therapist about what length and rhythm of sessions will best fit everyday life and responsibilities.
