About John
John Rigney is an LPCC with 40 years of clinical experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes. He blends evidence-informed tools with depth-oriented work to support emotional healing and renewed coping capacity.
Background and approach
Rigney draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas alongside client-centered and Jungian influences to tailor care to each person’s needs and history. His practice emphasizes careful listening and mutual exploration of personal meaning, attachment patterns, and family of origin dynamics.
Clients work on building resilience, addressing mood and social anxieties, and processing wounds from past relationships or traumatic events. Rigney also attends to concerns such as self-esteem, codependency, abandonment, and issues that arise around life transitions and aging.
Based in Kentucky, he provides a respectful, nonjudgmental space where practical strategies and depth-oriented reflection are offered in tandem. The goal is to help people strengthen coping skills, gain clearer self-understanding, and move toward more adaptive ways of relating to themselves and others.
Approach and Access: Therapy Methods Online
John integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting thought and behavior patterns to reduce distress and build coping skills, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the client’s own self-direction, providing a space for personal insight and emotional processing during sessions.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He will work with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time so that practical strategies and reflective exploration are balanced according to the client’s needs.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work through life transitions, and maintain momentum between in-person opportunities. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide consistent support while tailoring pacing and techniques to each person.
