John has been a great therapist! In the 2 sessions we've had, he's made me feel super comfortable - like I can really be myself without any judgment. He's great at listening and remembers stuff we've talked about before, which shows he really cares. He's not just sitting there nodding - he's already given me useful tools to work with, but hasn't made me feel pushed or pressured. He's got this perfect mix of being professional but also down-to-earth and real.

More about John

  • 5 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

I was born and raised in rural northwest Missouri. My experience has given me an understanding of the unique mental health challenges faced by individuals in small rural communities. Driven by a passion for helping others, I pursued a career in social work, earning both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Missouri State University, before earning my clinical license in social work. I strive to bring my wealth of experience to my practice, having worked in inpatient, outpatient, and in-home settings. My holistic approach allows me to connect with clients of all ages and backgrounds, helping them navigate their personal journeys towards healing and growth.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
