About John

John Gosling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of experience based in Wisconsin. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, addictions, trauma, anger, depression, and other life changes. He also lists additional concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, codependency, and issues related to prejudice and discrimination.

Gosling centers his practice on listening and acceptance. He references Carl Rogers as an influence and focuses on helping people increase self-understanding. He suggests practical resources and concrete steps to support everyday functioning and relationships.

In sessions he helps people map out a clear self-awareness and improvement plan. He partners with clients to address and modify that plan over time. The work emphasizes both insight and active steps to change patterns that cause stress or repeated conflict.

He has worked with a wide range of communities, including new immigrants, people with medical vulnerabilities, under-employed people, and at-risk students. This background informs how he supports people navigating life transitions and complex circumstances.

Gosling offers counseling in English and German. He asks prospective clients to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

John commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people develop their own understanding of what matters to them. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses concrete strategies to change unhelpful habits and reactions.

He also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT techniques are practical tools for managing intense feelings and reducing repeated conflict in relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. He will help figure out which methods match a client's goals, problems, and preferences. Expect to try strategies and adjust the plan based on what works and what does not.

If you want to meet online, please confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can shape pacing and tools to fit phone or video meetings, and these practical benefits often help people maintain progress between sessions.
