About John
Dr. John Reid is an LCP licensed clinician with 21 years of professional experience. He is licensed in Illinois and Kansas and practices from Kansas. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, LGBT concerns, and major life changes.
He focuses on clear, direct conversation about what is happening now. He helps clients name triggers, notice patterns, and build practical ways to respond differently. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented rather than long lectures or purely academic discussion.
Dr. Reid addresses related issues such as guilt and shame, questions of sexuality, and dynamics connected to narcissism. He prioritizes straightforward planning - small steps that can be tried between meetings and adjusted as needed. This keeps work grounded in everyday life and measurable changes.
Clients can expect someone who listens without judgement and who adjusts the pace to what feels manageable. He avoids jargon and explains techniques in plain terms so people can use them outside the session. Progress is tracked through practical goals and regular review.
Before a first session he asks people to identify the main moments when anger or anxiety show up. That helps shape the first few meetings and creates a clear starting point. Over time the focus shifts from immediate coping toward longer term shifts in behavior and thinking.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Reid uses evidence-based techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete strategies for managing anger and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and brief behavioral experiments to test new responses. These techniques are designed to be practiced between sessions to reduce flare-ups in daily life.Another approach is guided problem-solving and cognitive work that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and tests alternative interpretations. This helps reduce repetitive, triggering thoughts that feed anxiety and resentment. Both approaches are presented in plain language with step-by-step exercises you can try between meetings.
Finding the right mix of techniques is collaborative. He will review what you've tried, your goals, and how you respond to different strategies, then adjust the plan together. The focus is on what works in your real world rather than sticking strictly to one method.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use different formats to suit scheduling and energy levels, and Dr. Reid will discuss the best option when you set up your first meeting.
