Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My name is Dr. John Cooley. I have a Master of Arts Degree in Psychological Counseling from Southeast Missouri State University and Ph.D in Psychology from California Southern University. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. I have 25 years of counseling experience working with Adults and Families who present with a variety of mental health and substance abuse problems. I have worked in outpatient and hospital settings. My treatment approach is very eclectic. I draw from a lot of counseling theories that can best fit a person’s needs. Some of those include Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma Focused Treatment. I believe that clients have the resources within them to make positive changes so as to improve the quality of their lives. I provide a warm compassionate approach to counseling and want my clients to feel that they have been heard, validated and understood. At the same time I help clients find solutions to their problems and learn valuable coping skills to manage the problems they are experiencing. I look forward to working with you!

For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person counseling. Research and clinical practice show that these types of issues often respond well to remote treatment delivered by trained professionals.
One of the main benefits is flexibility – clients can connect with a therapist in the format that best suits their needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to engage from a different location.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to request a different therapist if they feel a change would be a better fit. Online therapy offers an accessible way to receive evidence-informed support for common mental health and life concerns.
