About John
John Rego is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, relationship struggles, and major life changes. He aims to make the first step feel less daunting by offering steady, respectful support and practical direction. He uses a conversational style in sessions.
He listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps people clarify what matters most to them. He focuses on small, doable steps that fit each person’s life and goals.
Background and approach
John draws on attachment-focused work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. He also uses client-centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on the person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are brought in when patterns of thinking or behavior need to change.
Sessions cover a wide range of concerns, from parenting stress and caregiver burnout to addictions, career uncertainty, and feelings of emptiness or shame. He also supports people facing divorce, blended family challenges, or struggles around intimacy and communication. In California practice he adjusts plans to each person’s needs.
He describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help clients build clearer choices, steadier emotions, and better day-to-day functioning.

Approach and online care that fit your life
John often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. This approach helps people understand why they respond emotionally the way they do and work toward more supported ways of relating. He also applies Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps the session focused on the person’s own goals and experience, letting the therapist respond to what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used selectively, gives concrete tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors when they fuel anxiety, depression, or anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That process may mix approaches over time based on what is helping and what feels comfortable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
