About John
John Hammerle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with ten years of clinical experience. He works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, anger, and depression. He also addresses related issues such as attachment concerns, communication problems, and fatherhood questions.
He focuses on practical, straightforward conversation. Sessions center on noticing what is happening day to day and trying small, manageable changes. He uses clear techniques from evidence-based approaches to help clients reduce overwhelming feelings and improve how they relate to others.
John blends behavioral tools with attention to values and meaning. That means looking at what matters most and using that to guide choices. He also uses strategies that teach emotion regulation and coping skills when impulses or strong reactions arise.
People come to him for help with anger that shows up at work or at home, for problems tied to alcohol or drugs, and for relationship stresses like trust or communication breakdowns. He will talk about patterns that started in early family life when those patterns still cause trouble now.
His style is collaborative and straightforward. He asks direct questions, offers specific exercises, and reviews progress together. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.
How his approaches translate to online work
John uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what they value. ACT focuses on taking small committed actions toward meaningful goals rather than trying to push away every uncomfortable feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood; it includes practical exercises and behavior experiments to test new ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are taught for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when impulses or intense feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and review what helps over time.
