John Engebretson

Integrating practical approaches with flexible online care

John uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, addiction-related impulses, and sleep issues. He also draws on client-centered therapy, providing empathic listening and a supportive environment that prioritizes the client’s perspective and personal goals, which can be especially helpful for navigating grief, relationship concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. John works with clients to determine whether skill-based CBT techniques, a more exploratory client-centered conversation, or a mix of methods best fits their needs, preferences, and goals, and he adapts the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and to access support when life or caregiving responsibilities make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can use these tools to combine evidence-informed approaches with convenience, helping clients practice new skills and stay connected to therapeutic progress.
