About John
John Weber is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 12 years of work experience. He focuses on addictions, relationship strain, self-esteem, career concerns, and depression, and also lists guilt and shame among his areas of attention.
He often works with people dealing with substance use and process addictions, and with those affected by a loved one’s active addiction. Sessions include talking through patterns that keep someone stuck. He uses straightforward tools to help people notice thoughts and actions that prolong guilt or shame.
John draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviors. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, practical goals and track small changes. These methods are meant to be practical and action-oriented rather than abstract.
His background includes work in residential care and outpatient treatment settings. That experience informs how he approaches relapse risk, motivation, and building routines that support recovery and reduced isolation.
People meet him for direct conversation about specific problems such as codependency, fatherhood issues, impulsivity, midlife questions, financial stress, and social anxiety. He encourages clients to use their existing strengths while practicing new skills one step at a time.
How John’s CBT and Solution-Focused Work Translate Online
John uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify the thoughts and behaviors that feed guilt and shame. CBT in practice means naming unhelpful thinking, testing it with small experiments, and practicing different responses to reduce reactivity.He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to break problems into manageable steps. That approach focuses on setting clear short-term goals, noticing small wins, and adjusting what works over a few sessions. It can be useful when someone wants concrete change rather than long, open-ended exploration.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. John aims to match strategies to the client’s needs, preferences, and pace rather than insisting on a single model.
