About John
John Mead is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 23 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, ADHD, and related struggles including codependency. He offers help in English and accepts international clients.
John uses practical, conversational sessions that focus on what is happening now. He listens to how daily life is affected and then uses clear methods to address those problems. Sessions often include setting small goals, practicing new ways to respond, and building on what already works for the client.
He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the sessions focused on the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques help bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity.
Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are ambivalent about change, especially around substance use or habit shifts. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, doable steps toward practical improvements in day-to-day life.
John frames work as a collaborative process. He and the client outline goals, try approaches, and adjust plans based on what helps. Sessions are geared toward usable skills rather than abstract theory.
Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How John Mead uses common approaches in online work
John uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the client’s priorities. That approach means sessions begin with the client’s concerns and progress at a pace they set. It is useful for people who need a respectful, listening-based setting to sort out what matters first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then try practical alternatives. CBT supports issues like anxiety, low mood, and many types of problematic behaviors by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help lower reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness. These practices can reduce rumination and make it easier to try new responses to stress and triggers.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on the client’s goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time if something is not working.
