Getting to know John O'Donoghue

I am John ODonoghue, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (MFT 40935). I enjoy helping people with family and relationship issues, workplace and career challenges, and general transitions along life's journey. Other areas of expertise include grief and loss, blended family dynamics, stress, coping with narcissists in your life, mild depression, anxiety, social anxiety, procrastination, guilt, anger, self-blame, PTSD, family conflict, highly sensitive people, spirituality, and existential concerns. I hold a Master?s degree in Counseling from Sofia University, which has enriched my understanding and approach to therapy. My approach I have learned that creating trust in the therapeutic relationship is a vital part of the process, and like all therapists, I am committed to holding you with unconditional, non-judgmental positive regard. Whether you seek longer-term therapy to illuminate hidden patterns or solution-focused brief therapy for a specific problem, we will tailor our work to your goals and wishes. I am dedicated to helping you discover your ability to heal and grow, listen to your inner wisdom, and find peace, self-acceptance, and self-confidence instead of fear. I have studied most of the major therapeutic approaches and have a particular affinity for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Humanistic Therapies, and Spiritual therapies. I believe in a holistic approach that considers all aspects of life. I like to identify areas where growth is possible alongside specific concerns. My focus I work very well with relationship issues, anxiety, and depression, and prefer to work with adults aged 25 and upward. My communication style I strive to create an atmosphere of unconditional, non-judgmental support and open-minded exploration. I am a highly rated therapist whose reviews were featured in an advertisement published by BetterHelp, where clients described me as open, understanding, compassionate, creative, humorous, and empathetic.
