About John

John Saunders is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 12 years of professional experience. He has focused on supporting people dealing with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, and addressing trauma and abuse, while also working to strengthen motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

John aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely. He approaches each person with respect and patient attention, helping them explore concerns and consider practical steps forward.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and responding to each person's unique experience. It helps individuals feel heard and supported while they explore goals and make decisions at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for issues like anxiety and depression and can produce practical skills for day-to-day coping.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful for people who need strategies to tolerate distress and build more stable relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. John Saunders works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals and therapists provides flexibility - sessions can take place over video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of treatment when life circumstances change.
