About John
John Henry, LMFT, brings over three decades of clinical experience and a prior career in education to his therapeutic work.
Background and approach
With 34 years as a mental health clinician and earlier training in early childhood education, he blends teaching, consultation, and psychotherapy skills to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, addictions, ADHD, grief, and LGBT-related issues.
His background includes delivering parenting workshops, providing consultation to school staff, and supervising graduate interns and mental health clinicians for more than two decades. Henry’s practice emphasizes the role of relationships in shaping emotional life, drawing from psychodynamic perspectives while remaining eclectic in technique.
He integrates attachment-based ideas, client-centered care, trauma-focused treatment, cognitive behavioral strategies, and family-structuring work to tailor interventions to each person’s situation. Sessions are led with compassion and empathy, and he offers individual, couples, family, and adult therapy across community and clinical settings.
Based in California, Henry’s long history of teaching and clinical supervision informs a pragmatic, skills-oriented approach that aims to help people improve communication, manage stress, and navigate significant life changes.
Integrating relational and cognitive approaches in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships influence feelings and behavior; it helps people explore patterns in close relationships and develop more supported ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, emotions, and actions, offering practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change unhelpful behavior. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and stress management skills that support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity in daily life.Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person. This shared decision making helps clients feel involved in shaping their treatment and choosing techniques that fit their situation.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats allow people to access licensed professionals from home, manage scheduling around work or caregiving, and use different communication styles as needs change. The variety of formats supports continuity of care and makes it easier to maintain momentum between sessions.
