About John
John Sundeen is a licensed professional clinical counselor with six years of practice experience who works from a strengths-based perspective.
Background and approach
He approaches therapy believing that each person is the expert on their own life and brings resources that can be mobilized to address challenges like depression, anxiety, stress, grief, addiction, relationship and family concerns, parenting questions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
His background includes work helping clients explore practical, values-based steps toward greater well-being. John draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process in which he supports clients as they clarify goals, experiment with new ways of coping, and refine what works in daily life. Counseling is offered from his California practice and reflects a respectful, exploratory style that emphasizes personal strengths and meaningful change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
John frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy centers on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to actions that move a person toward a more meaningful life.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He will work with clients to explore which methods resonate, adjust strategies over time, and combine elements of different approaches to fit individual goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules. These formats allow for consistent contact, timely skill practice between sessions, and options that suit different comfort levels and logistical needs.
