About John

John Looney is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, and anger among other concerns. He speaks English and practices in Ohio.

John keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens to what is happening now and asks for concrete examples of where things get stuck. Sessions focus on problem solving, skill building, and understanding patterns that feed frustration and conflict. He uses clear language and short-term strategies alongside deeper work when needed.

His background includes several common therapeutic approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR. John draws from these methods to address issues like grief, intimacy problems, sleep and eating disruptions, and career stress. He also works with people managing ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.

People often come to him for help with communication problems, control and codependency issues, and for support after trauma. He also addresses areas like body image, alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink, and caregiver stress. John aims to clarify what triggers emotional reactions and to build workable responses.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted at this time.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that form early in relationships and how those patterns show up now. It helps when trust, closeness, or repeated conflict are getting in the way of calmer responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different reactions when anger or anxiety flare up. Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative decision can change as new issues come up. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full session would be hard to schedule, and reduce travel time. Talk with him during the matching questionnaire about what will best fit your routine and needs.
