John Moore, LCPC, LPC

John Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of clinical experience. He offers a calm, straightforward presence and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and grief. He emphasizes practical steps and honest conversation rather than jargon.

He brings experience from outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings. That background shapes how he responds in the moment and how he helps people manage crises and everyday struggles. He aims to match his style to each person’s needs, combining direct feedback with a relaxed manner and occasional, appropriate humor.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequent foundation for his work, but he adapts methods to what the client needs. He also draws on acceptance-based ideas, attachment-focused thinking, client-centered listening, and mindfulness strategies when those fit the goals.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills. Clients can expect to talk through patterns, practice small changes, and build habits that support daily life. The therapist encourages motivation and follow-through while offering steady support.

John works with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, career challenges, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and issues tied to adoption or caregiving. He practices in Virginia and conducts sessions in English.

How therapy approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop healthier ways of connecting and regulating emotions. That work often helps with intimacy, communication problems, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) lays out clear links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they’ll try methods that fit the client’s situation and adjust as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also be useful when a quieter setting or less visual intensity helps someone engage. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment-focused work, and CBT exercises for remote sessions, using conversation, guided exercises, and at-home practice to keep progress moving.
