John Engebretson, LPC, LCPC

John Engebretson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) practicing in Colorado with 20 years of experience. He has worked in community-based settings and sees people for common concerns like depression, anxiety, stress, and anger. He also addresses relationship strain, parenting questions, career stress, substance use, trauma and abuse, and sleep problems.

John uses straightforward, interactive sessions that focus on practical steps. He blends client-centered conversation with cognitive-behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods. He also draws on motivational interviewing and existential ideas when those approaches fit the issue at hand.

Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented. He helps people identify patterns, try out new behaviors, and evaluate what works. That can mean learning short coping skills, changing thoughts that make anger worse, or building routines to improve sleep and mood.

John has experience working with neurodiversity concerns such as Autism and Asperger Syndrome and intellectual disability. He also supports people coping with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, grief, and complex co-morbidity. His background includes work with impulse-control and addiction concerns.

His approach is practical and respectful. He avoids labels that get in the way of progress and focuses on what a person wants to change. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options.
