More about John

- LMHC
I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in New York State. Through my experiences during my master's degree program, 1,200 hrs of internship, over 3,000 hrs of supervised counseling for licensure, I have dealt with many issues in a wide variety of clients. Anxiety, depression, relationship and sexual issues, anger management, motivational issues, etc. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families of all ages and backgrounds.
As a counselor I always give the benefit of the doubt. I assume that making the choice to engage with a counselor means that clients are ready to do the work. This means that they will do the homework that is assigned and make a concerted effort to help themselves. My approach is varied because I believe that it is the counselor's responsibility to find a therapy that best fits the client rather than try and fit a client to a specific therapy. I most often use cognitive behavioral techniques, rational-emotive behavioral techniques, client-centered (Rogerian), dialectical behavior therapy, and Gestalt techniques in my counseling.
I believe that we are in this together, working to empower you to make the desired changes. This process is not always easy, but discomfort equals growth. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
