About John
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with six years of experience, John Kleber focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem, and depression. He works with adults and has a background supporting adolescents in schools and treatment centers. Sessions are conducted in English and his practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
John's clinical work emphasizes practical strategies for everyday problems. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address anxiety and OCD and applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression and personality-related concerns. He also incorporates elements from the Gottman Method when working on relationship issues, and can include Christian faith when a client prefers faith-informed conversations.
His experience includes six years in outpatient counseling plus earlier work since 2008 with preteens and teens in schools, treatment centers, and community settings. That history gives him experience with anger and behavioral issues, ADHD symptoms, social anxiety, OCD, trauma, and grief among young people and adults. He has also supported collegiate athletes managing pressure and loss.
In sessions he focuses on how people relate to painful thoughts and feelings, aiming to reduce the ways those reactions increase suffering. He works on concrete skills and perspective shifts that help people handle stress, impulse control, and communication problems. He also addresses codependency, caregiving stress, control and dependence issues, and fatherhood concerns.

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help
John uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them. This approach often helps with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive patterns by teaching values-based actions rather than struggling to eliminate thoughts.He also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is commonly used for depression and for addressing personality-related problems through practical exercises and skill building.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as needs change. The emphasis is on shared problem-solving and choosing techniques that feel useful in everyday life.
