About John

John Brooks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with people around addictions, relationship and family concerns, and intimacy-related issues. He also addresses stress, anxiety, grief, mood disorders, and a range of life adjustments.

Brooks frames clients as the experts on their own stories. He focuses on practical conversations that identify strengths and build skills. In sessions he uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work to help people change unhelpful patterns and manage emotions.

He helps parents with parenting strain and people coping with trauma, abuse, or compassion fatigue. He also supports those dealing with eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem issues, and career stress. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, aging concerns, neurodiversity, chronic illness, and codependency.

Sessions emphasize clear steps and accessible tools. Expect a conversational style that points to concrete strategies for managing symptoms and improving relationships. The therapist welcomes people across sexual orientations and works with clients on intimacy and LGBT-related concerns.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that matter. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making changes that align with personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) aims to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more constructive patterns. CBT is useful for mood, anxiety, and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotions, and it can help with intimacy, relationship strain, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That selection may shift as therapy progresses and new priorities arise.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use these conveniences to help people maintain regular sessions and put therapeutic strategies into everyday life.
