About John
LPCC in New Mexico with 39 years of experience. John McCafferty focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coaching. He combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques, Gottman method ideas, and mindfulness to address practical problems.

In sessions he listens for patterns in thinking and behavior and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help shift those patterns.

Gottman method concepts inform his approach to communication and relationship concerns, while mindfulness skills are taught to manage stress and mood.
He has specific experience supporting people facing aging and geriatric issues, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, infidelity, and questions about life purpose. He also addresses men’s issues and self-love in practical, direct ways.
John asks people to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. He works with international clients and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. Online sessions using this approach keep conversations focused on the person’s priorities and next steps, which can work well for stress, grief, and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests practical changes. In online sessions CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking and practice new coping skills between meetings, which helps with anxiety and depression.
Gottman Method ideas guide communication skills and conflict patterns in relationship work. Online meetings can review specific exercises and communication practices that people can try between sessions to improve interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. John will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. He will adjust techniques as the work progresses so the plan matches what the client wants to accomplish.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits can help people maintain momentum while they address stress, relationship issues, or mood concerns.
