About John

John McCafferty is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) practicing in New Mexico. He brings 39 years of relationship coaching experience and decades of clinical work to sessions. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for people who are nervous or unsure.

John uses practical, down-to-earth conversation to help people with stress and anxiety. He also supports those facing depression, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes.

Background and approach

Relationship concerns such as communication problems, commitment issues, infidelity, and separation are part of his focus. His approach centers on helping a person speak and be heard. Sessions are grounded in client-centered methods, with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and the Gottman Method used as appropriate.

Mindfulness practices are introduced to help manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. John works with people who want coaching-style guidance as well as therapeutic support. He often helps clients set clear goals, learn new communication habits, and build daily practices for coping.

He tailors pacing and techniques to what each person prefers. Sessions can cover practical steps for divorce planning, handling aging and geriatric issues, or exploring life purpose and men’s issues. John aims to keep language simple and useful so people can try ideas between sessions.

To start, he invites people to take a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their routine.

Online support

Online approaches that support relationship and coping work

John blends client-centered care with targeted techniques so online sessions feel practical and personal. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people name what matters to them; it helps people gain clarity and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers simple steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. The Gottman Method provides structure for relationship work, teaching communication skills and ways to repair conflict that often come up in partnerships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. John works together with clients to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. He adjusts pacing and tools as you try things and learn what helps most, so the plan evolves with your needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversations and teaching communication skills, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, exercises, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice skills in everyday moments.
