About John
John Brooks is a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist practicing in Louisiana. He holds LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) credentials and brings 10 years of professional experience to his work. He emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth approach and meets people where they are.
He helps people facing addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, family conflicts, and parenting stress. He also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and work or career strain. He recognizes that each person brings strengths and life knowledge to the room.
In sessions he centers the client's perspective and collaborates on goals. Expect straightforward conversation, practical skills, and space to tell your story. He focuses on what feels most useful in day-to-day life and on small steps that add up.
John uses a mix of approaches to match different needs, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. He tailors interventions to the issue at hand rather than relying on one fixed method.
He works with people across a wide range of concerns including ADHD, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and issues tied to adoption or attachment. Taking that first step can feel hard, and he aims to make the process as clear and manageable as possible.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live in line with their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where values-driven action matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and the specific problems they want to address. Together they choose or combine methods that fit the person's situation and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen from locations that suit your schedule. Licensed professionals can guide how to use therapeutic tools and exercises remotely so work between sessions stays practical and focused on real-life change.
