Hi there! My name is John, but everyone calls me JT. I've been a therapist here in Ohio since 2008 and I have expertise primarily in addictions, depression, and anxiety/stress. I have a masters degree in clinical counseling from Cincinnati Christian University and I love what I do.
My counseling style is relaxed and non judgmental, while also not being afraid to gently confront clients when contradictions are noticed. I'm well trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and more.
I look forward to

“My guy John” (as family and friends know him) and I have been discussing life and managing my mental health for about a year now, and I am truly so thankful I started with BetterHelp. He’s been a great listener and problem solver when needed. He gives good tips on managing my anxiety and perfectionism tendencies and is always available. He gives honest feedback, is very affirmative when necessary, but also challenges me and my ways when appropriate. We discuss many things and he’s easy to talk to. I appreciate his outside perspective and reframing methods. I’ve become an advocate for therapy because of my awesome experience with him.

John (J.T.) has been so awesome and helpful at a time in my life when I just wasn't able to pull myself out of anxiety/depression alone. I wouldn't have stopped meeting him if it wasn't for me moving out of state/beyond his licensure territory. Would recommend him for sure!
