About John
John Kleber is an Illinois-based licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with six years of experience. He offers straightforward, practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He writes plainly and works to make sessions feel manageable for someone juggling busy life demands.
With a background across treatment centers, schools, and outpatient settings, he has supported children, adults, and couples in different contexts. He has experience helping with anger and behavior concerns, ADHD symptoms, trauma, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and personality-related struggles.
How John works
He also draws on time spent with collegiate athletes when addressing performance pressure and loss. John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. He often applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive issues, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for mood and personality-related concerns.
He can also use Gottman Method concepts when addressing couple communication and interaction patterns, and can incorporate Christian faith when clients wish to include it. In sessions he focuses on clarifying what matters to each person, teaching simple skills, and practicing steps that reduce suffering in daily life.
He aims to help people notice how they relate to painful thoughts and feelings and to try different ways of responding. People interested in starting with him complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns with thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, OCD patterns, and situations where getting stuck by emotions is the problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework; it is commonly used for depression and mood-related concerns. The Gottman Method concepts address communication patterns and interactions in relationships and can help when couples want to improve how they talk and solve problems.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels workable. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. They also allow people to use approaches like ACT and CBT through guided exercises, in-session practice, and take-home tasks that transfer to daily life.
