01About John
John Sundeen is a licensed professional counselor clinical candidate with six years of experience helping people work through parenting concerns and depression. He frames therapy as a practical partnership and treats each person as the expert on their own life. That first step toward change can feel hard, and he offers steady support through it.
In sessions he takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. He listens first, then helps clients notice strengths they can use.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and do-able, with ideas people can try between meetings. John uses tools from acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. He also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to create space for values-based decisions.
These methods are used to address issues like relationship strain, grief, addictive behaviors, trauma and low self-esteem. People who come to him for help with life transitions or attention-related challenges will find an emphasis on small, steady steps. He helps clients name what matters to them and build habits that match those goals.
Work is paced to suit each person’s needs. John practices in California and holds the credential LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible care.

Approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose small actions that align with personal values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and difficult life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and attention-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them access their own strengths.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to see what feels useful and adjusts methods based on goals and preferences. That shared decision making helps keep sessions relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers predictable ways to fit work into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be simpler to schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between appointments or use shorter, frequent touches. These formats make it easier to try therapy without rearranging a whole day.
