About John
John Looney is an LPCC counselor based in Ohio with seven years of clinical experience helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and trauma. He introduces himself simply and focuses on clear next steps. The first meeting is about understanding what feels most urgent and practical.
In sessions he uses straightforward, goal-focused work. He helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build skills that make day-to-day life easier. He also offers support for grief, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood concerns, and issues related to intimacy and sexual expression.
John draws from attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. He uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions collaborative and grounded in each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools help break unhelpful thinking, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to manage intense emotions.
He also brings EMDR-informed methods when trauma memories are a clear part of a person’s story. Across approaches he keeps the focus practical - what can be tried between sessions and what helps most in daily life. He is comfortable addressing ADHD-related challenges, caregiver stress, body image, and career or parenting strain.
People who want a direct, problem-solving style that still values connection may find his approach helpful. To begin, John asks a few questions to match needs and then plans sessions that fit those goals.
How John Brings Established Approaches to Online Work
John uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current reactions and connections; this approach helps when people struggle with trust, closeness, or repeated relationship patterns. Client-Centered Therapy is another core element - he keeps sessions focused on what the person wants, listens closely, and adjusts pace to match each individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. John views therapy as collaborative and will help a person test what fits best based on their needs, goals, and what feels useful in real life. He often combines techniques from different approaches to match a person’s priorities.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuity when life circumstances change.
