About John
John McCafferty is a New Mexico LPCC with 39 years working in relationship coaching and 24 years in clinical practice. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and address relationship concerns. His work also includes support for self-esteem, anger, depression, and life changes.
He uses straightforward conversational methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches he draws on to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going. He also uses Client-Centered techniques to listen and reflect what clients say so they can make clearer choices.
When relationship issues are central, he incorporates ideas from the Gottman Method to look at communication and recurring conflict patterns. Mindfulness-based strategies are offered to help reduce reactivity and improve focus on present-moment choices.
Sessions are focused and practical. He works with people to set small, doable goals and to try new ways of responding between meetings. Progress is tracked in concrete steps rather than vague promises.
John has worked with adults on issues related to aging and geriatric concerns, commitment questions, divorce and separation, infidelity, and finding life purpose. He also supports men who want help with self-love and managing the pressures they face.
To get started clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
John often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then plans small experiments to test new responses. Client-Centered Therapy is used to reflect what a client shares and to create clearer personal goals. The Gottman Method is applied when communication or recurring relationship patterns are a focus, looking at practical interaction habits and repair strategies.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each client to decide which methods to try first based on goals, preferences, and how problems show up in daily life. Adjustments are made as needed so the plan stays practical and realistic.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here.

Many people find that trying strategies between sessions works well when they can quickly check progress with a therapist. Confirm the current session options when you sign up so you know how meetings will be scheduled and billed.
