About John
John Brooks is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Louisiana with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship struggles. He speaks plain language and treats people as the experts in their own lives.
Brooks works with concerns ranging from parenting and intimacy challenges to grief, trauma, and career strain.
Background and approach
He also addresses issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, body image, and chronic illness. Sessions aim to help people notice what matters to them and find manageable steps forward. His approach blends several methods to match each person’s needs.
He uses ideas from Existential Therapy to look at meaning and choice, and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-based action. He also draws on attachment-focused work and cognitive-behavioral techniques when they fit the situation. John describes therapy as a collaborative process.
He listens for strengths, helps name patterns that cause pain, and offers straightforward tools for day-to-day coping. People often leave sessions with specific next steps to try between meetings. He offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
International clients may work with him in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people and schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Existential Therapy invites people to look honestly at the choices they face and what gives life meaning; it can help when someone feels stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed by big life questions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying values, and taking small actions that matter; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating when relationships cause pain or distance.Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which approaches fit their goals and preferences. Together they try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well for longer, face-to-face conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.
