About John
John Self is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 30 years of professional experience. He works with adults on common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. He also addresses relationship concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem, motivation, and addiction-related issues.
John approaches therapy as a practical collaboration. He treats clients as the expert on their lives and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress rather than vague promises.
Over three decades he has worked extensively with people affected by addiction and by trauma. He uses a range of techniques to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. That includes skills training for coping, relaxation practices, and structured homework to reinforce change between sessions.
His work draws on several clinical models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy. He also integrates attachment-based ideas to help with relationship patterns and bonding concerns.
Practical skills are a recurring theme in sessions. Clients can expect guided breathing and relaxation, problem-solving tools, and strategies for managing strong feelings. John often sets short exercises to practice new behaviors in everyday life.
He offers services in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions work
John commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his work. ACT helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. CBT looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical steps to change thoughts and behavior.He also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. That can be useful for people who notice repeated patterns in how they respond to closeness or conflict. Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process; he will work with clients to figure out what fits their goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, let someone use a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to online sessions so clients can practice skills and try homework between meetings.
