01About John
John McCafferty is a licensed LPCC practicing in New Mexico with 39 years of experience in relationship coaching and clinical work. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, anger, and coping with life changes. John aims to make the first step easier for people who feel unsure or overwhelmed about starting therapy.
He uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening-focused space. That approach helps people talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. The Gottman Method guides his work on communication and relationship concerns by teaching practical skills for managing conflict and rebuilding trust. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.
John blends these methods to match each person's needs rather than applying a single template. Across sessions he emphasizes clear, down-to-earth conversation and practical steps people can try between meetings. He works to keep conversations nonjudgmental so clients can bring difficult topics without feeling blamed.
Over his career he has helped people navigate major life transitions, divorce and separation issues, infidelity, commitment questions, and aging or geriatric concerns. John encourages people to use coaching and therapeutic tools to find clearer life purpose and greater self-love. He supports men dealing with identity and purpose, and assists anyone facing communication problems or decisions about relationships.

04Online support
How these approaches work online
John uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening-focused space where the client sets the pace and topics. That style helps when people need to talk through feelings and make sense of what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems in place and gives concrete exercises people can do between sessions to notice change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as the relationship progresses. That collaborative process lets clients try different tools and keep what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation and teaching of communication skills, phone sessions offer a lower-bandwidth alternative, and chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins, homework, or shorter coaching moments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to keep momentum between appointments.
