About John
John Brooks is a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist working in Louisiana. He holds LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) credentials and has practiced for 10 years. He approaches therapy with respect for each person's story and strengths.
Signing up for therapy is a big step and he welcomes that courage. In sessions he listens first and builds from what each person already knows about themselves.
Background and approach
He draws on Jungian ideas about meaning and symbols to help people notice patterns that show up again and again. He also uses practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work on thoughts, behaviors, and values. People come for many concerns including addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy problems, grief, parenting stress, and sleep or eating difficulties.
He also supports people dealing with trauma, ADHD, bipolar concerns, caregiver strain, and issues around identity and sexual expression. John frames these as everyday problems that can be talked through and managed step by step. His style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
He helps clients set clear, manageable goals and practices new skills between sessions. Therapy can include talking, reflections on life stories, and small experiments to test different ways of coping. John offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Work is offered through remote formats so people can match therapy to their schedules and needs.

Online support
Approach and access for online therapy
John blends Jungian Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and elements of Attachment-Based work to support clients in online sessions. Jungian Therapy looks at life stories and recurring symbols to help people spot patterns that shape behavior and feelings. ACT focuses on values and everyday actions, helping people accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful steps. Attachment-Based work explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. John treats the choice of method as a team effort, matching techniques to a person's goals, life situation, and preferences. He may try an exploratory session, then together decide whether to emphasize meaning-focused work, values-based exercises, or attachment patterns.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between meetings.
