John Moore, LCPC, LPC

John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of experience. He aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, or the aftermath of trauma and abuse. He keeps sessions direct and approachable, offering steady support and occasional humor when it helps the work go forward.

He draws mainly from cognitive behavioral ideas while tailoring the plan to each person's needs. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors, building new coping skills, or using mindfulness to reduce reactivity. He also uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches when relationships or early experiences are part of the problem.

Clients can expect a relaxed therapist who is honest and clear about goals. He values motivation and action and helps people turn small changes into steady progress. Humor is used carefully and never at a client's expense.

His background includes work in outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings across many age groups. That breadth of settings informs practical strategies for daily life, parenting challenges, addictions, sleep or eating concerns, and career or caregiver stress.

John focuses on helping people face life changes, manage anger, improve communication, and rebuild after loss or trauma. He works in Virginia and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people follow an online matching process and schedule based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

John often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and to improve how people relate to others. Mindfulness Therapy appears in his work too, teaching simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust the plan over time rather than sticking to one fixed method.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when life gets hectic. It can also let people practice new skills between meetings in the settings where they live and work. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and pacing so online visits remain practical and focused on real changes.
