    About John

    John Hammerle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. He supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, anger, and depression. He speaks English and accepts international clients.

    John aims to make the first step easier. He works with each person to build an open, nonjudgmental space for talking through difficult feelings and decisions. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope and move forward rather than long lectures or jargon.

    He uses methods such as Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Those approaches guide short-term tools and deeper reflection depending on what someone needs. John adapts his work to practical life challenges like parenting stress, money worries, and midlife transitions.

    People come for help with things like impulsivity, forgiveness, fatherhood concerns, infidelity, and mood problems. He also supports those facing co-morbid issues or struggles rooted in family of origin and communication breakdowns. The emphasis is on small, usable changes that fit into day-to-day life.

    Signing up starts with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling through the practice portal. John notes that beginning therapy takes courage and that working together is a step toward clearer goals and better coping.

  2. How these approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh their options and draw out their own reasons for change. It often focuses on short, practical conversations about goals and next steps and can help when someone is unsure about changing behavior.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches ways to accept uncomfortable thoughts while committing to actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and issues where avoidance gets in the way of living the way someone wants.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses small experiments and coping skills to reduce distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood problems, and stress reactions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying practical skills first or pairing short-term tools with deeper reflective work over time.

    The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand them. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice for an online setting so progress can continue between meetings.
