About John

John Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado. He brings 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. He often works with men on wellbeing concerns and on challenges that arise in midlife and beyond.

John uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions focus on realistic steps rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

He has a calm, easygoing manner and aims to meet people where they are. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to strengths and past successes. John encourages clients to try things between sessions and to build on what already works for them.

Over two decades he has provided counseling in community mental health settings. That background includes work with people facing trauma, mood concerns, caregiver stress, and issues related to aging and veterans. He emphasizes practical coping tools for everyday problems.

People who choose him can expect a collaborative approach. He helps set clear, achievable goals and checks progress along the way. The focus is on steady, manageable change so daily routines and responsibilities stay workable while making meaningful improvements.

How John uses CBT and Solution-Focused methods online

John often relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift negative thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into simple parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and gives practical exercises to change what isn’t working. Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and future-oriented, emphasizing small, realistic steps that build momentum toward a clearer goal.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what fits the client's life and priorities.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that the same CBT and solution-focused techniques used in person can be adapted to an online setting while keeping sessions practical and goal-directed.
