John Looney

John Looney is an Ohio-based LPCC with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and low self-esteem. John speaks plainly in sessions and aims to find practical ways forward that fit each person's life.

He uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address upsetting memories and reactions tied to past events. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections shape current feelings and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when helpful to build coping skills and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

John’s approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. He listens first, then helps set small, manageable goals. Sessions often include skill practice, real-life strategies, and chances to talk through painful experiences safely.

He works with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting stress, workplace burnout, ADHD, body image, and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people facing chronic health challenges, caregiver strain, and the emotional aftermath of disasters.

For people who want structure, John offers goal-focused plans. For those needing space, he offers a slower, exploratory pace. He encourages prospective clients to start by thinking about what they most want to change, and he’ll help shape the next steps together.

How therapy approaches shape online work

John uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing memories and reduce how much those memories disrupt daily life. This approach often involves gentle, step-by-step work on specific memories and the feelings they bring up.

He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early connections affect current relationships and emotional patterns. That approach can help people understand recurring relationship worries and build more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. John will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life demands. Decisions about which techniques to try are made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time, and let people meet from familiar surroundings. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or video-free meetings when bandwidth or camera time is a concern.
