John Weber, LPC

John Weber is an LPC with 12 years of clinical experience based in Missouri. He helps people who are struggling with addictions, relationship tension, low self-esteem, career doubts, and depression. He often works with issues tied to codependency, impulsivity, isolation, and midlife transitions. John focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. He uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods in sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thoughts and actions. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track progress. Conversations are collaborative and aimed at small, concrete changes that fit daily life. John’s background includes work in residential care and outpatient treatment centers, where he supported people facing substance use challenges. That experience informs how he approaches drug and alcohol addiction and process addictions like gambling or pornography. He also helps with smoking and vaping cessation and financial stress tied to behavior patterns. People can expect a respectful, strengths-based tone. John frames clients as the experts in their own stories and helps them build on what already works. He offers clear steps and accountability rather than long lectures. For someone weighing a first session, John recommends taking a small action like answering the intake questionnaire and scheduling a meeting. That first appointment is usually focused on immediate concerns, a simple plan, and next steps.

How his approaches guide online work

John commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by practicing new responses to old patterns; it can be useful for depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete goals and the steps that move someone toward them, which can help when motivation or direction feels murky. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adapt based on what proves useful. The aim is to work together to choose methods that feel practical and relevant to daily life. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to maintain momentum between meetings. It often reduces travel time and lets people check in from a convenient location, which can help sustain regular attendance. Because exact session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current online options before booking so you know what will work best for your schedule and needs.
