About John

John Bazan is a Texas-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a decade of clinical experience offering individual counseling. He has worked extensively with people confronting stress, mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, challenges around addiction, LGBT-related concerns, grief and relationship struggles.

Background and approach

His practice reflects a commitment to helping clients recognize and use their strengths as they navigate life changes and difficult emotions. Bazan emphasizes collaborative work that centers each person's values and goals.

He approaches therapy with respect for diverse identities and experiences, including alternative sexual cultures and complex relationship styles. He invites clients to take the courageous first step toward greater wellbeing and offers steady guidance as they rewrite their life narratives and develop practical skills for coping and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action, while helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of getting stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and stress reduction through simple attention practices that support emotional regulation and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work between therapist and client. He will explore the client’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions from different locations and on varied schedules. These formats support ongoing access to licensed professionals and allow therapy to fit into busy lives while using the chosen therapeutic methods to address concerns effectively.
