About John
John Engebretson is a licensed counselor with more than 20 years of experience. He practices in Colorado and brings a warm, interactive style to sessions. He aims to treat people with respect and without stigmatizing labels.
He uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to address concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and self esteem. He also helps people facing addiction, impulse-control problems, and sleep disturbances. He works with clients coping with trauma, grief, relationship and family issues, and career or parenting stress.
In sessions he focuses on practical conversation and collaborative problem solving. He adapts the dialogue and plans to each person’s situation, looking at thoughts, behaviors, and values to set small, achievable steps. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused ideas often appear alongside cognitive work.
His background includes long experience in community-based settings across multiple states. That work involved supporting people with developmental issues such as autism, people managing caregiver stress, and those juggling multiple diagnoses. John uses that experience to keep treatment grounded and realistic.
If someone is ready to make a change he offers straightforward support and guidance. He encourages clients to name clear goals and try out new strategies between sessions. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical tools that fit daily life.
