About John
John Brooks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience. He focuses on concerns such as addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar. He also addresses challenges like self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Brooks approaches therapy from a practical, conversational stance. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to identify strengths and next steps. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with an emphasis on skills people can use between meetings.
His background includes work across a range of life stressors and behavioral concerns. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at how thoughts and behaviors interact, and uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to help people notice what matters to them and act on those values. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how he looks at relationship patterns and trust issues.
Brooks uses Client-Centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person's pace and priorities. He may also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns. He tailors conversations and exercises to what the client needs in the moment.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
John uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as core tools. CBT focuses on identifying patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaching practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. ACT emphasizes noticing what matters to a person and taking action toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings are present.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how past experiences shape current ways of relating. These approaches are described and tried collaboratively so the therapist and client can decide what helps most for the client's goals and preferences.
