About John
John Kleber is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and he does not accept international clients.
He has a long history working with young people in schools and treatment centers since 2008, and has provided outpatient counseling to kids, adults, and couples. That background informs how he talks about behavioral and mood concerns in straightforward terms. He often helps people managing social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive challenges, and personality-related difficulties.
John draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas for anxiety and OCD-related struggles, and applies elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression and personality concerns. With couples he incorporates concepts from the Gottman Method and can include Christian faith in sessions when requested.
In practical terms, sessions focus on noticing what matters, shifting unhelpful patterns, and building small, usable skills that fit day-to-day life. He also addresses problems that often sit under other concerns, such as codependency, communication problems, control issues, isolation, and fatherhood stress.
People who feel stuck after a job change, relationship shift, or loss often come to talk about what matters next. John aims to help people clarify values, reduce the hold of painful thoughts, and find steps they can take toward greater direction and purpose. To begin, clients follow the online matching and scheduling steps provided by the service.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions based on personal values. It is often used for anxiety, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to reduce depressive or anxiety-driven patterns. The Gottman Method concepts used with couples focus on improving communication and resolving recurring conflicts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss which techniques match the client's needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as those needs change. That collaborative process helps people test what feels useful and drop what does not.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove the need to travel for an appointment. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to continue steady support after life changes while adapting pace and focus to everyday demands.
