About John
John Jaksich is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Arizona with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career transitions, and depression, including concerns such as guilt and shame. He speaks English and works with adults in Arizona; he does not accept international clients.
In sessions he talks through what’s happening now and how it connects to everyday life. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, social anxiety, mood-related problems, and trauma recovery. Conversations focus on practical coping strategies and small changes that fit into a person’s routine.
John pays attention to how health, work, and family demands overlap. He helps people who are managing chronic illness or pain, navigating divorce and separation, facing addiction issues, or handling blended family and fatherhood challenges. He also supports those processing forgiveness, guilt, and shame related to past actions or identity.
Sessions tend to be direct and problem-focused while also allowing space to reflect on feelings and values. He will help clients identify patterns, try new ways of responding, and build clearer communication skills. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Practical matters such as cost and scheduling are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people use the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based practices translate to online sessions
John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in clear, practical ways. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts, which can reduce anxiety and lessen self-blame. Behavioral strategies involve small, manageable experiments to change patterns that keep people stuck, useful for panic, avoidance, and guilt-driven behaviors.He also applies approaches aimed at processing difficult experiences and strong emotions. These methods help people name painful memories or feelings, learn new ways to respond to them, and practice communication skills for strained relationships. Each method is described plainly and tried collaboratively so the client understands its purpose and what to expect.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and adjust techniques as needed. That collaboration helps match methods to the problem, whether the focus is anxiety management, mood improvement, or working through shame.
