About John
John Brooks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing issues such as addictions, relationship and family concerns, intimacy questions, parenting stress, anxiety, grief, and anger. He also helps people with mood conditions, ADHD, career strain, and coping with life changes.
John frames clients as the experts of their own story. He looks for existing strengths to build on rather than starting from scratch. That outlook shapes how he begins work with someone - practical steps, clear goals, and respectful conversation about what matters most to the client.
In sessions he uses several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and shift patterns of thought and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clarifying values and taking meaningful action.
Attachment-based and client-centered approaches appear across his work when relationships and personal history are central. These methods guide conversations about connection, boundaries, and repeated interaction patterns that can fuel anger or relationship stress.
John is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including trauma, eating and sleeping issues, caregiving strain, and body image. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action that lines up with those values. It helps when anger or avoidance gets in the way of things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This is useful for managing anger triggers and everyday stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reduce reactive responses and improve communication.Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match the client's goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That may mean mixing methods across sessions and adjusting focus as the client's needs change.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins, avoid travel, or pick quieter surroundings when needed. Licensed professionals can use the same practical exercises and skills training in remote sessions as they do in person, and clients often move between in-person and remote arrangements to suit their schedules.
