About John

John Uriarte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 39 years of practice. He trained at the University of California, Berkeley and has a long history of clinical work that began in 1987. John draws on his varied background to offer steady, practical support when life feels overwhelming.

He listens first and then helps people find small, realistic steps forward. Sessions focus on clear goals like managing anxiety, improving sleep, handling grief, or coping with career and parenting stresses.

Background and approach

He uses talk therapy alongside methods such as hypnotherapy when appropriate for the client’s needs. John’s military service and later work with veterans shaped his approach to trauma and transition. He understands how major life changes - like divorce or returning from deployment - can affect mood, relationships, and day-to-day functioning.

That experience informs how he helps people rebuild routines and regain a sense of control. Therapy with him emphasizes practical tools and honest conversation. He uses approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.

These methods are offered in ways that match each person’s pace and priorities. Sessions aim to reduce symptoms like depression, anger, and compassion fatigue while also addressing relationship strain, intimacy concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and chronic illness challenges. John works with adults who need help navigating grief, family problems, or major life transitions.

He keeps language straightforward and focuses on what can change next.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches offered online and how they help

John integrates hypnotherapy as a tool to help people access focused relaxation and change unhelpful habits or thought patterns. It can be useful for sleeping problems, anxiety, and managing pain when combined with other therapeutic work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and intimacy. It can be helpful for communication problems, commitment issues, and rebuilding trust after infidelity or separation. John approaches all methods collaboratively and will work with each person to find the right mix of techniques for their goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, sharing updates, or when scheduling a longer session is difficult. These options make it easier to keep continuity during major life changes and to use therapy around work or family commitments.
