About John
John Looney is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and parenting strains. He also lists support for LGBT issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating problems, and career-related stress.
His approach is practical and person-focused. He uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when those methods fit the presenting problem.
In sessions he talks through current problems and looks for small, doable changes. He pays attention to how past relationships affect present patterns, and helps people build clearer communication and coping skills. Sessions may include direct skills practice, problem-solving, and reviewing what worked between meetings.
John aims to help with everyday tasks like managing anxiety, improving sleep, or handling difficult conversations with a partner or parent. He also supports people coping with loss, chronic illness, caregiving stress, or complex relationship patterns such as attachment or abandonment concerns.
He practices in Ohio and conducts work in English. His practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary by location. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns. Online work can use this approach to identify repeated interaction styles and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Online sessions can include structured exercises, homework, and brief skills practice between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide whether attachment work, CBT, DBT skills, or EMDR will best suit their goals. That decision is based on the person’s needs, preferences, and how they respond during early sessions. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real-life settings and to review materials together during a session. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT worksheets, role-play, and emotion-regulation skills to an online setting, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule the first session.Areas of focus
