About John
John McCafferty is a New Mexico LPCC with 39 years of experience in relationship coaching and 24 years of clinical work. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. He also supports those facing life changes and people exploring life purpose and commitment concerns.
John uses straightforward conversation to clarify what feels out of balance. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful patterns and on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's concerns.
He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple ways to steady attention and reduce reactivity. For relationship issues he incorporates elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict. These methods are used together to address specific problems like divorce, infidelity, and communication breakdowns.
John has worked with adults over decades of private practice and coaching. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals are set and progress is reviewed. People meet to talk through what's happening now and try practical changes between sessions.

How John blends approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective. It involves open conversation and reflection so the person can clarify what matters most and decide next steps. This approach is useful for people feeling unsure after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises to test new ways of reacting and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. John will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying a technique, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around a busy schedule, or avoiding camera use when that feels better. Licensed professionals often find online sessions help people maintain continuity of care and make it simpler to keep appointments while managing work and family commitments.
