About John

John Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado who centers his work on practical, skills-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Background and approach

He brings two decades of clinical experience supporting adults and teens through common concerns like stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life transitions. His approach emphasizes helping clients identify patterns that maintain distress and developing concrete strategies to change them.

John blends solution-focused interventions with CBT-informed tools to help people build on strengths and set achievable goals. He aims to meet clients where they are, offering an approachable, calm presence while encouraging active collaboration.

His background in community mental health has included work with issues such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, impulsivity, isolation, financial stress, post-traumatic stress, and relationship separations. He frames therapy as a process of clarifying values, increasing coping skills, and moving toward a more satisfying daily life.

Practical Approaches for Online Progress



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive alternatives; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, anger, and self-esteem concerns by teaching concrete coping skills and problem-solving strategies. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and on setting specific, achievable goals; it helps people build momentum by identifying small changes that lead toward clearer outcomes and improved day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors sessions so that methods like CBT or solution-focused techniques fit the person’s situation. This cooperative planning helps ensure therapy stays focused on practical results and meaningful steps forward.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options allow for continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible and provide flexibility in how people communicate about sensitive topics, helping more clients access regular, goal-directed support.
