John Funk

John Funk is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. He brings 15 years of front-line experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. He aims to make the first step easier for those who feel unsure about starting therapy.

His style is direct and practical. He creates an open atmosphere where clients can talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgment. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, achievable changes that fit into everyday life.

John uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. He draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

John has worked with a wide range of issues, including trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, and ADHD. He also addresses attachment problems, codependency, communication difficulties, and coping with big life changes. His experience includes helping people manage mood disorders and sleep or eating problems.

He sees therapy as a collaborative process. Together, he and the client review goals, try practical strategies, and adjust the plan as needed. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people with his services.

Approaches that guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and behavior. It helps when people struggle with connection, abandonment fears, or repeating old relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new, healthier habits. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and coping with stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to needs, goals, and personal preferences. That means trying an approach, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during a work break. It can also offer quieter surroundings or simpler technology needs depending on the chosen format. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and skills practice to what works in remote sessions, focusing on practical tools and next steps between meetings.
