About John
Dr. John Hudome is a licensed clinical social worker with forty years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. He focuses on practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Dr. Hudome uses client-centered ideas to keep the person’s goals in view. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different actions. Hypnotherapy is another tool he may offer when it seems appropriate.
Sessions are intended to be a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to set goals, test new strategies, and track progress over time. The emphasis is on building skills that can be used outside the therapy room.

How these approaches apply to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to the person and shaping sessions around their goals; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to clarify values and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses specific exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help access motivation and reduce symptoms like stress or certain phobias. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying techniques, reviewing how they feel, and adjusting the plan together. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from familiar locations. It can also make shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions easier to keep. This profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available session options before booking to make sure they meet your needs.Areas of expertise
