About John
John McCafferty is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in New Mexico. He brings 39 years of experience in relationship coaching and long clinical practice to sessions. He focuses on practical steps people can use to manage anger, stress, anxiety, and depression.
He helps people tackle relationship problems, low self-esteem, and the strain that comes with life changes. Grief and loss are also areas he addresses, and he supports clients exploring life purpose and men's issues.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused. John uses approaches that center the client and teach concrete skills. He blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns.
Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and build calm in stressful moments. The Gottman Method is part of his work on communication and relationship repair. He uses it to help people learn clearer ways to talk, manage conflict, and rebuild trust.
Conversations are practical and focused on habits people can use outside sessions. John encourages a direct yet compassionate style in the room. He aims to make sessions easy to follow and useful from the first visit.
To start, he asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment that fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online change
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions to anger, grief, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. This approach helps people reduce anxiety and manage anger by changing how they think and act in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful for the individual's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper discussions and skill practice, while phone calls can be easier on low-bandwidth connections. Live chat or messaging are useful for quick check-ins, journaling, or short coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep work progressing between meetings.
