Rev. John Reid, LCMHC

Rev. John Reid is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) practicing in North Carolina with 25 years of counseling experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, parenting, anger, depression, bipolar issues, ADHD, and life changes.

He describes listening as central to his work. He says he aims to be non-judgmental and to relate one to one. He draws on long experience in churches, schools, residential programs, and community mental health settings to guide practical conversations about everyday problems.

Reid earned a master’s degree in counseling in 1976 and holds the LCMHC credential in North Carolina. He has worked in pastoral roles and as a counselor across community agencies and schools. He reports having worked with English-speaking clients in many countries and with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders and anger management issues.

In sessions he uses familiar approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing. He also notes training in Gestalt work and ongoing continuing education required for licensure.

When faith matters to clients, he offers Christian counseling that uses the Bible as a resource rather than a tool for judgment. He emphasizes forgiveness and learning from mistakes as part of moving forward.

He positions counseling as a practical process of talking through problems, building coping skills, and identifying next steps that fit a person’s life.
