About John

John Looney is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor practicing in Ohio with seven years of clinical experience. He works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, LGBT issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and other areas listed below. He describes his work as finding the puzzle piece that fits each person and getting started from there.

Looney uses a mix of Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in his sessions. He focuses on practical steps people can use between appointments. Sessions often include talking through current problems and trying simple skills to reduce distress.

He helps people facing parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and life changes. He also addresses concerns tied to ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, eating and sleeping problems, and chronic illness. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, body image, codependency, and communication problems.

John works with people who identify across sexual orientations and includes LGBT issues among his specialties. He also notes work related to intimacy, kink and alternative sex culture, and caregiver stress. He frames therapy as collaborative and goal-oriented, aiming for practical improvements.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds affect current connections. This approach can be useful for relationship concerns, attachment issues, and intimacy-related problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

EMDR is an approach used for processing traumatic memories. In sessions it combines focused recall with guided attention to reduce the intensity of distress tied to past events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The choice may change as therapy progresses and goals evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking. The biography does not list specific online formats, so check which formats he is offering now. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, allow a quick check-in during a work break, or avoid being on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions when the format matches the client’s needs.
