About John
John Hammerle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction-related challenges, difficulties with anger, and symptoms of depression.
Background and approach
His work also addresses relational concerns and a wide range of related issues such as attachment difficulties, communication problems, family of origin struggles, and problems connected to infidelity or fatherhood. Hammerle emphasizes collaboration and openness, creating a space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment.
He draws from evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches that address values, emotional regulation, and interpersonal patterns. Practical problem-solving and skills building are balanced with exploration of life purpose, forgiveness, and patterns that contribute to impulsivity or mood concerns.
Clients who seek a direct, supportive clinician for stress, mood, and relationship-related issues will find an approach centered on clear goals and steady collaboration.
Approaches for Online Work and Practical Skills
John integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online sessions to offer both skill-focused and values-oriented work. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility so clients can take meaningful action even when facing difficult thoughts or feelings.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist discusses clients' goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, and together they decide whether a CBT focus, ACT elements, or a blend of techniques will best support progress. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to each person's needs while keeping goals and measurable steps in view.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical benefits like scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. These options make it simpler to maintain regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and adapt communication style to what feels most helpful for the client.
