About John
John Uriarte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has practiced since 1987. He brings decades of hands-on experience and a straightforward approach. He listens first and helps people who are ready to make changes.
John spent many years working with military service members and their families. He served in the U.S. Army and continued treating veterans after returning to civilian practice.
That background shaped his work with stress, trauma, and life transitions.
Background and approach
In session he focuses on practical steps and clear conversation. He uses a mix of approaches to help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. He also supports people facing grief, career stress, parenting strain, and challenges tied to chronic illness.
John uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-informed work, and client-centered methods. He tailors those tools to the issue at hand and to each person's goals. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday concerns.
He works with people on problems like relationship conflict, intimacy questions, coping with change, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. He also has experience with ADHD, attachment issues, and first responder stress. John practices in Texas and offers help in English.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when strong thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems like anxiety and sleep trouble going. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and seeks to build healthier ways of relating in close connections.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time based on what helps most. Sessions involve conversation, skill practice, and real-life problem solving together.
Online therapy with this clinician is available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible for work schedules, caregiving demands, and travel.
