About John
Rev. John Reid is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with 25 years of professional counseling experience.
Background and approach
He welcomes people who are coping with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, ADHD, and relationship concerns, and approaches each person with attentive listening, a nonjudgmental stance, and practical therapeutic skills. His long career blends pastoral work and clinical practice, and he emphasizes empathy, forgiveness, and the possibility of moving forward after mistakes.
Reid trained with a Master’s degree in Counseling earned in 1976, attained LCMHC licensure in North Carolina (NC LCMHC 6678), and completed a five-year Gestalt training program. His background includes work in churches, residential care for teens, school-based services, and mental health agencies, as well as counseling experience with English-speaking clients in over thirty countries.
He offers short- and longer-term support that integrates evidence-based methods and respectful, person-focused care grounded in decades of experience.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Rev. John Reid integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s perspective guides sessions and personal strengths are emphasized. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develops practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements of different therapies to address specific concerns. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what a person finds most useful rather than applying a single fixed method.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and to access support when in-person options are limited. The variety of session types supports ongoing work on coping skills, relationship and family concerns, grief, ADHD-related challenges, and other areas he addresses.
