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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
