About me

I am a mental wellness counselor licensed in Ohio, Colorado, and Montana, currently residing in Ohio, with 20 years of experience working as a counselor in community-based settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, impulse-control disorders including substance use, and Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. I also have worked with many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Motivational Enhancement and Rational-Emotive Counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for John Engebretson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

John is very caring and understanding, never once will judge you for what you bring to the table, and is always there to listen and offer resources and advice. My favorite part of working with John is the incorporation of scripture and faith in our sessions, and he really shows the love that God calls us to have for each other. To anyone seeking help in therapy I would highly recommend John. 10/10

John is very kind, considerate, and helpful. I have had a few disappointing experiences with therapy, but John has changed my mind on every aspect of it. I appreciate John incorporating Christianity into our sessions, as my faith is very important to me.
