About John
Dr. John Hudome is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 40 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and the challenge of coping with life changes.
He also addresses communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love, sexuality, and social anxiety. Sessions focus on straightforward conversation and practical steps that can fit into day-to-day life. He adapts the approach to the issue someone brings rather than using one fixed method.
Dr. Hudome uses client-centered methods to keep the session focused on each person's concerns. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to look at thinking patterns and their effects on mood and behavior. Hypnotherapy is another option he may use when appropriate and agreed on by the person in therapy.
In meetings he aims to listen closely and help people sort out what matters most to them. That can mean breaking big problems into smaller steps, trying new coping strategies, or working on forgiveness and the heavy feelings that come with guilt or shame. He encourages people to try practical changes between sessions and to notice what helps.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Dr. Hudome uses client-centered work to keep sessions focused on what the person brings. That means the therapist listens, asks clarifying questions, and follows the client's lead to decide what to talk about and try. Client-centered methods are useful for sorting through guilt, shame, relationship stress, and life changes.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete tools such as thought records and behavior experiments to test and change unhelpful patterns. Hypnotherapy may be offered as an additional tool when it seems helpful and the person agrees to try it.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals and preferences, try an approach for a time, and adjust if it is not working. The focus is on practical steps tied to the person's goals rather than on following a fixed plan.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. He and the person will choose the session rhythm and methods that best fit everyday life.
