About John
John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of experience. He speaks plainly and meets people where they are. He aims to make therapy feel straightforward and practical.
Many coming to him are worried about stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, or life changes. He uses clear, focused tools rather than a single method. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness are regular parts of his work when they fit a person's needs.
Background and approach
He adapts his approach to each situation and will be direct when that helps progress. Humor appears sometimes, used gently and never at a client's expense. His background spans outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings.
That range shaped his ability to handle both immediate crises and longer term concerns. Over time he has worked across many issue areas including trauma, addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, and caregiving stress. In a typical session he focuses on practical steps and clear goals.
He looks for actions a person can try between meetings. Progress is framed as a mix of motivation, learning, and steady effort. For people in Virginia who want straightforward, experienced guidance, his style balances acceptance with useful direction.
He supports clients as they make changes and work toward clearer priorities.
Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting concerns
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, then choose actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and patterns by teaching practical skills and small experiments to change behavior and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early bonds to improve how people connect and resolve repeated conflicts. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods together. That collaborative process helps identify what feels effective for each person and each family situation. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, while phone, live chat, and text messaging provide faster check-ins or alternatives when video is not possible. These options offer flexibility for parenting schedules, work commitments, and those managing care responsibilities, helping keep momentum between sessions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
