About John
John Rego is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with two decades of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
He works with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders such as depression and bipolar symptoms, substance and behavioral addictions, intimacy and communication struggles, parenting and family-of-origin issues, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and forgiveness and shame-related work.
John blends evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs, developing practical strategies alongside deeper relational and existential exploration. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, attachment-based techniques to examine relational patterns, and client-centered principles to create respectful collaborative sessions.
He aims to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each client’s circumstances while offering coaching-style support for career and life adjustments. Clients can expect an empathetic, nonjudgmental approach that emphasizes respect and sensitivity.
John emphasizes the courage it takes to seek change and offers steady support through the process of building clearer communication, healthier coping, and more fulfilling relationships.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
John commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially practical for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. He also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relationship patterns and emotional needs, useful for intimacy, communication, and family-of-origin concerns. These approaches are presented in straightforward, goal-oriented ways to match each client's priorities.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and John works collaboratively to determine what fits best. He invites clients to share their goals and preferences so together they can choose strategies that feel useful and realistic, adjusting the plan as progress or new needs emerge.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy times or life transitions, and they allow for ongoing skill practice and check-ins between longer sessions.
