About John
John Looney is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with seven years of experience. He introduces himself in a straightforward way and focuses on meeting people where they are. He aims to understand each person's situation and find practical ways to move forward.

John uses a mix of approaches that fit the problem at hand. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. He uses client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in the client's priorities.
He also applies cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. For trauma work he includes techniques associated with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation is needed.
Sessions are aimed at practical change and clearer direction. He listens, asks simple questions, and helps people try small shifts that can improve daily life. To begin, he suggests finding the piece that fits and then building from there.

How John’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to map these patterns and try different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person’s priorities and pace, with the therapist following the client’s lead to set goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with practical homework and short experiments to try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. John will discuss options and tailor the plan to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in about what’s working and adjusts methods as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports doing practice tasks between meetings, like thought records or behavioral experiments, so learning can continue between sessions.
