About me

Welcome to Betterhelp. My name is John P. Koffman. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Wyoming I earned my Masters In Counseling Psychology from Northwest Missouri State University and my Education Specialist Degree in Counseling Psychology, with a marriage and family emphasis, from the University of Missouri. I have been practicing for 30 years as a generalist in a Community Mental Health setting, providing individual, family and couples counseling in Community-Based, Agency-Based and School-Based services in Casper Wyoming. I have conducted managerial and supervisory services for a Therapeutic Family Care Program and was a laison with the Department of Family Services and other state agencies. Additionally, I worked in an institution for the developmentally disabled, developing treatment plans and providing staff training. In all of those years I have gained experience working with a vast array of mental, interpersonal, emotional and behavioral health issues, primarily with adolescents and adults. Prior to obtaining my counseling degrees, I taught high school psychology and history classes and was a coach in a variety of sports.

It is my belief, and my experience supports, that a strong client/therapist relationship is absolutely essential. My approach to treatment varies, depending on the issues that a client comes in with. This may include Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Solution-.Focused Therapy. Of all of the clients I have worked with, teenagers have been a challenge and the ones I seem to have a passion for. Much of my experience has focused on depression, anxiety and grief and loss. I can also provide Faith-Based Therapy if that meets the clients needs. I am a strong advocate for the utilization of exercise and eating well and can provide psychoeducation in this area.

I have a passion for working with people to help them obtain success in living their lives to the fullest. I fully understand that being attached to the right therapist is essential and that it may take time to find that right fit. I have been told that I am easy to connect with and it is my hope that I can be of service to you.

Very straight forward and good at telling you how you should or shouldn’t feel. If you appreciate someone who is more blunt then John is your guy.

Written on Jun 04, 2024 after therapy with John for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, self esteem, anger management, and bipolar disorder

John is so beyond wonderful as a therapist. He asks the right questions and is such a good listener, as well as challenging my thoughts and way of thinking. He has a comforting thing about him. I appreciate his eagerness and joy he clearly gets from doing his job. I cannot recommend him enough!

He’s great, never passes judgement. Listens, but also gives his opinion and ideas on how to improve things which I really appreciate. Very sympathetic as well.

John is very good at reading people and knowing right away what kinda questions to ask. Only had 3 sessions and he’s open the door to a lot of what I need help on. Been extremely helpful for myself and family realizing certain problems.
