About John
Dr. John Hudome is an LCSW licensed in New Jersey with 40 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. He also lists social anxiety and phobia among his focus areas.
He prefers a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. He talks with clients about what feels most pressing and works on practical steps that can be used between meetings. That includes addressing panic symptoms, mood shifts, and problems with communication that get in the way of daily life.
Dr. Hudome uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also offers hypnotherapy when it fits the client's goals and comfort level. These approaches are described and applied in clear, simple terms during sessions.
Over four decades he has seen many kinds of mood and anxiety concerns. He focuses on building straightforward coping skills and on increasing confidence in social settings or during stressful moments. He encourages gradual practice of new skills so changes feel manageable.
People who want a practical, discussion-based approach often find his style easy to follow. To begin, he asks clients to outline current concerns and what they hope to change, then he helps set simple, measurable steps toward those goals.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around those priorities. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks clarifying questions, and adjusts the pace to match what feels comfortable for each meeting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to test and change unhelpful thinking. For people struggling with anxiety or panic, CBT often includes short exercises and practice tasks that can be completed between sessions to reduce avoidance and build confidence.
Hypnotherapy is offered as an additional option when a client is interested. It is described in simple terms and used to support relaxation, focus, and the rehearsal of new responses when appropriate for the person's goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each client about their goals, try agreed methods, and adjust plans together based on what helps. That collaborative process helps determine whether CBT, Client-Centered methods, hypnotherapy, or a mix is the best fit.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so ask which formats are offered when scheduling. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quicker check-ins when issues arise, and reduce travel time so sessions are simpler to attend.
