About John
John Uriarte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. He has nearly four decades of clinical social work experience, beginning after earning a master’s degree in social welfare. John focuses on listening first and helping people take practical steps forward when life feels stuck.
He draws on long experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He also helps with parenting strain, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with major life changes.
How John works
Compassion fatigue and issues related to attention and focus are among his regular areas of work. John uses several straightforward therapy approaches to guide sessions. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while taking action that aligns with their values.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change patterns of thinking that get in the way. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how he helps people explore relationship patterns and feel heard in session. His background includes many years of work with military populations and veterans, and he has experience supporting people through deployment-related stress and post-deployment transitions.
He also has experience addressing grief, chronic pain or illness concerns, and issues that arise from separation and divorce. Sessions are practical and focused on problem solving and coping strategies. John aims to help people build skills that fit into daily life and to support them while they try new ways of handling hard situations.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small guided steps toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches tools to change them, which can ease anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting if it does not feel like the right fit.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can fit brief check-ins or users who prefer writing over speaking, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles.
