More about John

  • 12 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

Hi there! I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Alaska with over 12 years of experience. I live in a rural community and work with a wide variety of issues with my clients. I have extensive experience in working with clients living with depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use issues. I also have extensive experience working with couples and families. I have been trained in the Gottman method of couples therapy and work to help couples identify areas of conflict in their relationship and provide the support and tools they need to discover their resources to find happiness together. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
