About John
John Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 20 years of experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
He uses straightforward, practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and small steps a person can try between appointments. He also draws on mindfulness ideas to help people notice their reactions before they escalate.
John has a long background in community mental health. That work involved supporting people with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, impulsivity, isolation, and caregiving stress. He has experience addressing issues that appear around midlife, divorce, money stress, and challenges faced by veterans and people connected to the armed forces.
In session he keeps a relaxed, easygoing tone. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life and works together with them to test changes and build coping skills.
People who come for help with anger often leave with clearer ways to recognize triggers, slow down reactions, and practice alternatives to snapping or holding in resentment. He also helps people work on related areas like guilt, forgiveness, life purpose, and regaining confidence.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding to situations that trigger anger or anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward clearer goals rather than digging through long histories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will discuss what seems most useful and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize thought work, short experiments, or mindfulness-based noticing exercises in sessions.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, or choose a meeting style that requires less bandwidth or camera time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and Solution-Focused methods to remote sessions so people can practice real-life experiments between meetings and track small changes over time.
