About John

John Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 20 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and help with coping through life changes. John also lists life purpose among his focus areas and addresses practical concerns such as money issues and caregiver stress.

John describes a straightforward, relaxed approach in sessions. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns and try small, practical changes. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and what can be done differently in daily life.

He draws on work in community mental health settings and on many years helping people with mood-related concerns and trauma-related symptoms. That background informs a style that emphasizes clear steps and short-term strategies when those are useful.

In session John aims to help people identify strengths they can use when feeling stuck. He often works on coping strategies for anger, anxiety, and low motivation. He also supports people facing separation, midlife shifts, and the stresses that come with caregiving or aging relatives.

Sessions are conducted in English and John does not take international clients. People who want to begin are asked to use the site's matching and scheduling flow to choose a first appointment and complete a brief intake questionnaire.

How John uses CBT and Solution-Focused work online

John uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. That approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative ways of responding, which can reduce anxiety, low mood, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and on what is already working; it is useful when someone wants short-term strategies and clear goals.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. John discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. He treats the selection of techniques as a collaborative decision based on someone’s needs and what they want to change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that working with a therapist online makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, to keep regular check-ins, or to use shorter sessions for a focused skill practice. Others appreciate being able to do reflective homework between meetings. A licensed professional can help match a format to practical needs like timing, the type of issue, and how much time someone has for work between appointments.
