About John
John Douglass is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, parenting strain, and questions about identity and intimacy. He brings 20 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, client-directed style to sessions. He also supports people dealing with depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions.
John focuses on helping people name and make sense of their emotions. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment ideas to help people notice patterns that shape how they relate to others.
Background and approach
Sessions also draw on client-centered and DBT-influenced skills work when needed. His background includes a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama and a Master of Arts in Agency Counseling from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He completed a two-year residency in pastoral marriage and family therapy that involved work with premarital and married couples.
John has additional training in trauma-focused approaches, trauma-informed care, and adoption competency. In practice he aims to be direct and practical. He helps clients identify feelings, see how emotions drive behavior, and try new ways of responding.
That often means short-term skill building alongside deeper work on attachment and relationship patterns. Sessions are offered in English and John accepts international clients. He uses a mix of conversational talk, exercises, and skill practices to help people make changes that fit their daily lives.

Online support
How attachment work and emotion-focused therapy translate online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express the emotions that shape their relationships and behavior; it is often used when people want to change how they connect with others or reduce repeated arguments and distance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that form early in relationships and helps people understand how those patterns influence current trust and closeness. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities to support self-directed change.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match the client's needs, and adjust over time. That means sessions can focus on emotion work, attachment themes, or practical skills depending on what the client and therapist decide together.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to include therapy around work, family, or travel while using attachment and emotion-focused work in a way that fits daily life.
