About John
John Burkin is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping adults manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, sleep problems, and depression. He works in plain terms and asks people to use sessions to make change. He welcomes conversations about sexuality and LGBT concerns and aims to make therapy a practical effort toward feeling better.
He began in community mental health 17 years ago working with people who had severe psychiatric illness and co-occurring substance concerns.
Background and approach
That early work taught patience and practical problem solving. Over time he learned what techniques help reduce obsessive thoughts, panic, and mood swings. John creates a straightforward, down-to-earth atmosphere in sessions.
He is direct and uses a bit of humor when it fits. He tells new clients that it is fine to decide after an intake whether the fit is right, and he encourages open feedback about how sessions are going. His approach asks clients to do active work between sessions.
He does not focus on venting alone; instead he helps people set concrete goals and steps to reach them. Clients who do well with him tend to be present-focused and willing to try mindfulness and structured techniques. Therapy draws on solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral methods.
He also uses mindfulness practices, dialectical behavior ideas, and motivational interviewing to help people change habits and manage strong emotions. John holds credentials as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Nevada and as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in New Mexico, and he practices in Louisiana. He offers sessions in English and German.

Online support
How structured approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises, practice tasks, and tools to break cycles of anxiety, panic, or low mood.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and improve focus on the present. These techniques can help with sleeping problems, obsessive thoughts, and stress by training moment-to-moment awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for typical therapy conversations and skill teaching. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text can work for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and to use skills in everyday life.
