About John

John Alilovich is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California, with a career that spans nearly four decades. He spent more than fifteen years working for the county mental health department, supporting children and families through challenges like substance addiction, domestic violence, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and various forms of abuse. During that time he also began a private practice that has continued alongside his public work for many years, giving him broad experience with diverse client needs.

John brings a warm, personal style to therapy and approaches each person as the expert on their own life. He emphasizes collaborative goal setting, working together to identify solutions that fit each individual’s circumstances. Clients can expect to be treated with sensitivity, respect, and openness as their unique history and strengths are explored.

In his work John draws on a range of methods including Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness practices, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). By getting to know each client, he tailors the therapeutic mix to what is most likely to be helpful, adjusting methods to meet changing needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, and it supports people working through issues like intimacy, abandonment, or family conflict by rebuilding healthier relational habits. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment in which the client’s own insights and strengths guide the work, making it helpful for self-esteem, grief, and general life direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and John works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best given their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors methods over time, combining elements from different approaches when that better serves a person’s progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging - which helps people fit care into busy schedules, manage logistics across distances, and maintain continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to an online setting, keeping the focus on effective, accessible support.
