About John
John Henry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 34 years of clinical experience. He began his career as an educator and spent many years leading parenting workshops and consulting in early childhood classrooms. His background blends teaching and clinical work, and he draws on both when supporting people who are stressed or grieving.
He helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction concerns.
Background and approach
He also works with relationship problems, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and mood disorders such as bipolar. His practice includes attention to LGBT concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and multicultural matters. John’s style is compassionate and empathic.
He emphasizes how relationships shape daily life and pays attention to the patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps the person can try between meetings. He uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs.
Attachment-based ideas inform his view of close relationships, while cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused strategies are used when helpful. Client-centered and psychodynamic perspectives influence how he listens and reflects what he hears. John also has a long history providing training and supervision to interns and clinicians.
His early work in schools and community mental health settings informs his approach to parenting and caregiver stress, and he often brings that practical experience into therapy.

Online support
Attachment-informed care and online options
John integrates attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and behavior, which can help with trust, intimacy, abandonment concerns, and family patterns. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can explore their own goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques offer concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood swings, and unhelpful thoughts.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to choose which methods feel most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they plan sessions and adjust strategies as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and text messaging is useful for brief updates or ongoing support. These options help fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and make it easier to keep appointments.
