About John
John Brooks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are coping with addictions, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and related stresses such as anxiety and grief.
He starts by treating clients as the primary experts on their own stories. Sessions focus on identifying strengths people already have and using those strengths to manage problems. John encourages straightforward conversations about what feels difficult right now and which patterns from the past keep repeating in daily life.
His approach draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-informed work helps when early family roles and expectations continue to shape current relationships. He also uses client-centered and DBT-informed techniques to improve emotion regulation and communication.
John works with a wide range of concerns beyond relationships, including parenting stress, sleep and eating struggles, ADHD, depression, bipolar conditions, and caregiver stress. He also has additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family issues, body image, chronic illness, and codependency.
People who choose John can expect practical tools alongside reflective conversation. He aims to help clients notice patterns that came from their family of origin and make clearer choices about how to respond now. To begin, the next step is completing the platform’s short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes recognizing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It is often used when people want to stop being controlled by anxious or self-critical thoughts and instead act toward what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and practical problems like sleep or eating issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. John will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying a skills-focused CBT exercise one week and exploring attachment patterns the next, based on how the client responds.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people work with licensed professionals across different locations, which can help when local options feel limited. The first step is completing the platform questionnaire and scheduling a session to discuss which approach and format will work best.
