About John

John Weber is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 12 years of clinical experience supporting people facing addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, career setbacks, and depression.

Background and approach

He often works with clients coping with codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions such as gambling or pornography, and issues around fatherhood, midlife transition, and men's concerns. His practice also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, financial stress, smoking or vaping cessation, and social anxiety.

His approach emphasizes practical, skills-focused methods rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques that aim to identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and build concrete strategies for change. John draws on experience from residential care and outpatient treatment settings to help clients navigate recovery and relational challenges.

He frames clients as the experts in their own stories and works collaboratively to amplify strengths and clarify goals. Taking the first step can be difficult, and he acknowledges the courage it takes to begin seeking support.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

John uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is commonly applied to depression, anxiety, addiction-related patterns, and social fears. He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers conversations on client goals and small, achievable steps to build momentum and clarify next actions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than predetermined. He works with each person to assess needs, priorities, and preferences, and then adapts methods so treatment aligns with the client's goals and pace.

Online therapy with John is offered through a variety of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options aim to provide flexibility for scheduling, continuity of care during life transitions, and multiple ways to engage with therapeutic work depending on what feels most comfortable and practical for the client.
