ONLINE THERAPY FOR ADULTS | OCD | ADHD | ANXIETY | TRAUMA | INSOMNIA
Hi, I’m Dr. John Tzanos, PhD, a licensed psychologist providing secure, telehealth-only therapy for adults.
If it feels like your mind never turns off, replaying conversations, chasing certainty, overthinking decisions, or bracing for the next wave of anxiety, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are capable and high-functioning on the outside, but privately exhausted by OCD loops, ADHD overwhelm, chronic worry, panic, trauma reactions, or depression.
My approach is grounded in a simple idea: science + spirit. I use evidence-based therapy that’s practical and effective, while also drawing from timeless human wisdom about how people suffer and how people heal. From Eastern traditions, I bring a gentle focus on awareness and acceptance: learning to notice thoughts and feelings without treating them like emergencies, and learning to meet discomfort with less fear and resistance. From Western traditions, I draw on themes of clarity, courage, and values: focusing on what you can control, letting go of what you can’t, and living with integrity even when life feels messy. You don’t need to “win” against your mind to have a meaningful life you need skills, support, and a clear direction.
What we’ll do in therapy
Therapy with me is active, structured, and deeply human. We’ll build an accurate map of what’s happening, your triggers, patterns, avoidance cycles, compulsions, and the places you get stuck, and then translate insight into clear, realistic steps you can practice in daily life.
Core approaches
- ERP (the gold-standard treatment for OCD and many anxiety patterns)
- ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to build psychological flexibility with intrusive thoughts, uncertainty, and difficult emotions
- CBT for practical skills that improve mood, anxiety, sleep, and follow-through
- When it fits, I also integrate CPT for trauma-related “stuck points” and clinical hypnosis to support calming the nervous system, habit change, and self-regulation.
I specialize in helping adults with:
- OCD (including intrusive thoughts, checking, rumination, reassurance-seeking, and “mental compulsions”)
- ADHD (overwhelm, procrastination, follow-through, organization, self-criticism)
- Anxiety & panic
- Depression
- Trauma/PTSD
- Insomnia
- Phobias
- Neurodiversity/ASD
- BFRBs (skin picking / hair pulling)
Clients often tell me they spend less time trapped in mental loops and more time actually living. They become more able to tolerate uncertainty without compulsions or avoidance. They build follow-through with ADHD without relying on shame or perfectionism. They feel steadier emotionally less like life is happening “to” them and more able to make clear decisions that match who they want to be. Sleep often becomes more consistent, self-trust grows, and the day-to-day experience of life starts to feel lighter.
My style
My style is calm, transparent, and warm. There’s no pressure to say things perfectly or have everything figured out before starting. We’ll move at a pace that respects your nervous system—while still working toward real progress.
