About John
John Looney is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with seven years of experience working with adults. He focuses on common early-adult pressures like stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and motivation. John writes that he looks for the puzzle piece that fits each person and then gets to work.
John keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He listens for what feels stuck and then uses practical steps to help people move forward. He uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered methods, CBT, DBT, and EMDR where those methods match the concern.
People turn to him for a wide range of issues including grief, intimacy questions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career stress, and coping with life changes. He also lists support around LGBT concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment issues, body image, codependency, and some personality-related patterns.
When trauma is part of the picture, John may draw on EMDR alongside other strategies to reduce intense symptoms and improve everyday functioning. With relationship or attachment struggles he leans on attachment-focused and client-centered ways of working to strengthen understanding and communication. For anxiety and mood concerns he often pairs cognitive behavioral techniques with skills from DBT.

How his approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early relational experiences affect current connection and trust. Online work with attachment themes often involves talking through relationship patterns, noticing interaction styles, and practicing new ways of relating in everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In sessions that use CBT, clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, test new perspectives, and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's needs and goals, adjusting techniques as issues evolve. The goal is to match practical tools to what matters most to the client.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow people to choose a quieter time of day, avoid camera use when preferred, or schedule sessions around work and school commitments.
