He was inspired to become a therapist through his commitment to personal growth, both in himself and in those he works with. He walks alongside clients as they step outside their comfort zones, offering the support and guidance they need to move forward.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John also holds a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Communication Theory, which he applies to help clients navigate interpersonal interactions and strengthen how they express their needs and set boundaries. He takes a collaborative, client-centered approach grounded in cognitive theory, tailoring each session to support clients\u2019 growth, understanding, and unique needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working with John, clients enter a peaceful and accepting space where they can feel heard, understood, and supported. He believes in meeting his clients where they are in their journey. Furthermore, driven by the therapeutic relationship, he aims to collaborate in a way that fosters meaningful growth and encourages self-directed progress. John believes that blending empathic listening with a thoughtful exploration of each client\u2019s values and experiences helps them uncover clarity and take confident steps forward.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John Morano, LGPC, is licensed in the state of Maryland (#LG16346) and under the clinical supervision of Denise Adams, LCPC (#LC9358).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Client Thrive Program<\/strong><br>Credentials Earned:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:25% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safeharborbc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/engagement-badge-e1673642675653.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3436 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Engagement Badge<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Awarded: 04\/08\/2026<\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:25% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safeharborbc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/connection-badge-1-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6098 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Connection Badge<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Awarded: 06\/27\/2026<\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:25% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safeharborbc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Collaboration-Badge-300x255-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6106 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Collaboration Badge<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Awarded: 07\/06\/2026<\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8126,"template":"","locations":[96,97],"insurance":[22,23,51],"issues":[53,54,79,19,81,57,21,58,82,26,84,60,85,31,33,89,90,91,42,67,44,93,45,94,68,49,69,50],"gender":[38],"age_groups":[17,18,61],"language":[28],"treatment_orientation":[16,72,80,59,24,86,105,40,41,66,77,92,47,48],"video_counseling":[34,52],"demographics":[25,29,30,63,37,65],"zip_code":[],"care":[],"accepting_new_clients":[417],"class_list":["post-8125","counselors","type-counselors","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","locations-bowie-condo","locations-bowie-md","insurance-carefirst-bluecross-blueshield","insurance-cigna","insurance-united-healthcare","issues-abuse-neglect","issues-add-adhd","issues-alzheimers-and-dementia","issues-anxiety-panic","issues-autism","issues-bipolar-disorder","issues-career-counseling","issues-chronic-illness-pain","issues-court-mandated-therapy","issues-depression","issues-dissociative-disorders","issues-eating-disorders","issues-educational-learning-disabilities","issues-grief-bereavement","issues-anger-management","issues-intellectual-disabilities","issues-interpersonal-effectiveness-in-relationships","issues-life-coaching","issues-ocd","issues-personality-disorders","issues-addiction-process-i-e-food-gambling-other","issues-recently-hospitalized-clients-or-those-coming-from-in-patient-treatment-for-mental-health","issues-self-esteem-self-worth","issues-sexual-abuse","issues-sleep-insomnia","issues-addiction-substance-i-e-drug-alcohol","issues-suicidal-ideation","issues-ptsd","gender-male","age_groups-adolescents-12-17","age_groups-adults-18","age_groups-senior-elders","language-english","treatment_orientation-acceptance-and-commitment-therapy-act","treatment_orientation-adlerian-therapy","treatment_orientation-attachment-therapy","treatment_orientation-client-centered-therapy","treatment_orientation-cognitive-behavioral-therapy-cbt","treatment_orientation-emotionally-focused-therapy-eft","treatment_orientation-humanistic","treatment_orientation-mindfulness-therapy","treatment_orientation-motivational-interviewing","treatment_orientation-narrative-therapy","treatment_orientation-psychodynamic-therapy","treatment_orientation-rational-emotive-behavior","treatment_orientation-solution-focused-therapy","treatment_orientation-strengths-based-therapy","video_counseling-no","video_counseling-yes","demographics-couples-therapy","demographics-family-therapy","demographics-female","demographics-lgbt","demographics-male","demographics-military","accepting_new_clients-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
