About John

John Looney is an LPCC licensed counselor with seven years of clinical experience based in Ohio. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship strains. John aims to find practical steps that fit each person's life and goals.

His approach is straightforward and down-to-earth. Sessions are largely client-centered, meaning conversations start where the person is and move at a comfortable pace. He also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce distress.

Background and approach

John has worked with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges related to ADHD and chronic illness. He also supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related questions. He lists anger specifically as one area he helps people address.

In session he uses a mix of skills training and reflective conversation. That can mean practicing coping skills, trying small behavior changes between sessions, and talking about patterns that keep problems going. He adapts tools from attachment-based and dialectical approaches when they fit a person's needs.

People who prefer a collaborative, practical style often do well with him. He invites clients to set goals and test what works in real life. The focus stays on usable steps and steady progress.

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation to identify those patterns and build new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and actions; online CBT uses short exercises and behavioral experiments people try between sessions to reduce anxiety and anger. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories; when appropriate, parts of trauma work can be adapted to video sessions with careful pacing and clear agreements. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on the client's goals and comfort. This collaborative process aims to match methods to what the person needs rather than forcing a single model. Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a fuller conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be less demanding of bandwidth and work well for check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief coaching, tracking progress, and getting support between sessions. These options make it easier to use therapy around work, family, or medical commitments and to keep momentum between meetings.
