Background and approach
Progress is tracked in small, concrete steps so clients can see what’s changing. John uses several evidence-informed approaches to fit different needs. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking.
He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients act in line with their values when emotions run high. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are taught for managing strong emotions and impulsive urges. He also brings ideas from existential work to help people examine meaning and life direction.
For relationship concerns he incorporates elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict. Those methods are mixed to match each person’s situation rather than applied in a fixed way. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
John works with adults who want clear, practical tools and a straightforward plan for coping and change.

04Online support
Online approaches that aim for practical change
John commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and stress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems where thoughts influence feelings.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice strong emotions and still take steps that match their values. ACT is helpful when someone wants to act differently even while uncomfortable feelings remain. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are included for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive actions, which can be useful for anger and addictive urges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins, shorter skill practice, or people who prefer typing. These options aim to make scheduling easier and to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
