About John
John Douglass is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 20 years of clinical experience. He focuses on common and painful concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He also helps people facing ADHD-related challenges and life transitions.
John takes a client-centered approach. He helps people name and sort the emotions that drive unhelpful behavior. That makes it easier to see what to work on next.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on clear steps people can take between appointments. Attachment themes are a core part of his work. He pays attention to how early connections shape current bonds and patterns in relationships.
That perspective can help with abandonment worries, communication problems, commitment concerns, blended family stress, and family of origin issues. He combines approaches such as emotionally-focused work and skills-based methods like dialectical behavior therapy to help people manage intense emotions and rebuild closeness. He also brings an existential lens when people face big questions about meaning, role, and responsibility in their lives.
John trained at the University of Alabama and earned a Master of Arts in Agency Counseling from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He completed a two-year residency in pastoral marriage and family work and has additional trainings related to trauma and adoption issues. He welcomes a straightforward conversation about goals and next steps.

Online support
Attachment and Emotion Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in connection and trust. It helps people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships and build new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment and encourages growth through empathic listening and collaboration. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication and distress tolerance.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, history, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions can shift over time as progress is made and new challenges appear.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel schedules while keeping continuity of care.
