About John
John Douglass is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama. He has 20 years of counseling experience and helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, LGBT concerns, intimacy issues, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, and ADHD. He aims to make therapy clear and straightforward so people can take practical steps forward.
His style centers on the person in the room. He uses a client-directed approach that helps people name emotions and notice the behaviors tied to them.
Background and approach
That clarity often makes it easier to try different responses and regain a sense of control. John combines several therapeutic methods to match what each person needs. He draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice, attachment-focused work to look at close relationships, and client-centered listening that keeps priorities in the person’s hands.
He also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relevant. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama and a Master of Arts in Agency Counseling from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He completed a two-year residency in Pastoral Marriage and Family Therapy where he worked with premarital and married couples as well as families.
He has also trained in trauma-focused approaches and in adoption-related competency. Sessions are offered in English and John accepts international clients. He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives. It focuses on questions about purpose, freedom, and the consequences of decisions, which can help during major life changes and feelings of emptiness or confusion.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships. It helps people understand how early and current relationship dynamics shape emotions and reactions, and it can be useful for intimacy issues, communication struggles, and attachment concerns.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and the person’s own goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead and creates space for self-directed change, which works well when someone wants to explore values, identity, or everyday problems.
Deciding which approach fits best is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that match the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when lower bandwidth is needed or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling easier and let people pick what fits their routine and comfort.
