About John
John ODonoghue is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. He brings 27 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people who are facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship struggles. He encourages people to give themselves credit for reaching out and to view difficult times as opportunities for growth.
He describes his own life changes and losses as shaping his empathy and compassion. That lived experience informs a calm, nonjudgmental approach in the therapy room. He aims to help clients build self-acceptance, greater confidence, and practical ways to handle hard emotions.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals. That might mean longer-term work to uncover recurring patterns, or shorter, solution-focused work for a specific problem. He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing depending on the client’s needs.
John has worked with relationship concerns including infidelity and non-monogamous arrangements, and he has a special interest in addictions and harm reduction. He has also supported people with workplace stress, grief, PTSD, and issues like procrastination, anger, and low self-esteem.
He encourages collaboration in therapy, helping clients listen to their inner wisdom and find practical steps toward healing. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English.
