About John
John Brooks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are facing relationship and family stress, addiction concerns, and problems with intimacy. He commonly addresses parenting strain, anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with life changes.
Brooks focuses on practical conversation and clear steps rather than jargon. He treats clients as the expert on their own story and helps them use their strengths to handle hard situations. Sessions aim to identify what feels most pressing and then find ways to test small changes and new habits.
His background includes work with people dealing with trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and anger and self-esteem problems. He also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care questions, and concerns linked to attachment and abandonment.
Therapeutic approaches he uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These are used to address things like addiction, mood concerns including bipolar and depression, and challenges at work or in parenting roles.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck by teaching practical exercises and committed steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills to change patterns that fuel mood problems, stress, and some relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can shift over time as priorities change or new challenges appear.
Session logistics should be confirmed on the platform since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. Before booking, review the available session options and schedule a first meeting using the matching questionnaire on the site.
