About John
John Uriarte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 39 years of clinical experience. He listens and helps people who ask for support with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, grief, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and ADHD. He also notes work with compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.
He trained at the University of California, Berkeley where he earned a Master of Social Welfare and began practice in 1987. He served 24 years in the U.S. Army and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel, working with service members and their families on military-related stress. After active duty he continued counseling veterans and families through civilian practice and VA work.
His style is straightforward and practical. He focuses on noticing thoughts and habits that keep problems going and practicing different ways of responding. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps people can use between meetings to test what helps.
John draws on several approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based methods, client-centered techniques, and existential ideas. He uses these to address mood changes, trauma reactions, relationship patterns, and transitions such as separation or midlife shifts.
He works in Texas and conducts sessions in English. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
John uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then practices alternative responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and focus on actions that match their values, which can aid in coping with life changes and chronic stress.Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of his toolkit; it looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and communication. Together these approaches give practical ways to test new behaviors and improve relationships. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - he will work with each person to decide which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them keep momentum between sessions and apply skills in real situations.
