About John

John Brooks is a licensed counselor (LPC) and licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Louisiana with a decade of clinical experience.

Background and approach

He has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns including addictions, relationship and family conflicts, intimacy-related challenges, parenting stresses, anxiety and mood disorders, grief, trauma, and ADHD. His background also includes support for issues such as body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and complex co-morbid conditions.

John centers his work on the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and brings strengths that can be mobilized for change. He uses evidence-informed approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor care to an individual’s needs.

He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful, meeting clients where they are and helping them build practical skills for coping and growth. Available to English-speaking and international clients, he offers a collaborative, strengths-oriented style that balances empathy with concrete tools for navigating transitions, stressors, and long-standing patterns.

Therapeutic approaches for online growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to alter those patterns, which can help with mood, anxiety, and many daily challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early bonds to improve emotional regulation and relationship dynamics, often benefiting clients working through intimacy, family, or trauma-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. John works with clients to consider their goals, preferences, and life context and then adapts methods from these evidence-informed models to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online work makes these approaches accessible through flexible session formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow scheduling around busy lives, enable continuing care during transitions, and provide multiple ways to engage with therapy content and skill practice between sessions.
