John Kleber

John Kleber is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with six years of post-licensure experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, depression, and life purpose for adults. Sessions are offered in English and he does not take international clients at this time.

John draws on years of work across schools, treatment centers, and outpatient settings. He has experience helping people who struggle with social anxiety, OCD, anger and behavior concerns, ADHD symptoms, and personality-related difficulties. His background also includes supporting athletes dealing with pressure and grief, and he can incorporate Christian faith into sessions if a client wishes.

His practice makes use of well-studied techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In plain terms, that means he helps people notice unhelpful patterns of thought and action, and then try new responses that fit their values and goals. He also uses Gottman Method concepts with couples when relationship patterns are the focus.

Work in sessions is practical and interactive. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, try exercises between meetings, and review what helps or gets in the way. John often addresses communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

People who come because they feel stuck or unsure about what comes next often focus on clearer priorities and manageable steps. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the See online therapy options button. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them and then choosing actions that reflect what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, obsessive concerns, and the sense of being stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce depressive patterns and unhelpful habits. Gottman Method concepts look at communication and interaction patterns in relationships to improve problem-solving and mutual understanding.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. John will work with each client to identify which methods fit their situation, goals, and personal preferences. He combines talking, in-session exercises, and between-session practices so people can test what helps and adjust as they go.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time so therapy can slot into a lunch break or evening. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care while focusing on problem-solving, communication skills, managing anxiety, and exploring life purpose without promising a particular outcome.
