About John

John Looney is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with seven years of practice. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles.

John uses straightforward talk and practical techniques in sessions. He listens to what matters to the client and then helps identify small, doable steps to try. Sessions usually include discussion, skills practice, and checking what did or did not help since the last meeting.

His background includes approaches that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts. When trauma is a central concern, he can incorporate EMDR methods to address distress linked to memories.

People who value clear explanations and concrete tools often find this style helpful. John pays attention to how attachment and communication affect relationships and personal confidence. He also supports people dealing with grief, career stress, ADHD, chronic illness, and issues around intimacy and body image.

Sessions are conducted in English and are intended for adults. Costs vary depending on location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work helps people notice how early relationship patterns affect current interactions. In practice this means talking about recurring reactions and trying new ways of relating to others during sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts that increase anxiety and testing small behavior changes to reduce worry. Those techniques lend themselves to short exercises and homework between meetings. EMDR is used when trauma memories are central; it involves structured processing of distressing memories under clinical guidance and can reduce the intensity of those memories over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. John will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can evolve as work proceeds, with priorities adjusted based on what helps most.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many people appreciate that remote meetings let them use tools and worksheets right away during the session, while others prefer a longer conversation. The therapist and client will agree on a practical plan that fits the client’s schedule and needs.
