About John

John Funk is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas who draws on 15 years of experience to support people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and related concerns such as depression, anger, and addiction.

Background and approach

He emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that helps clients explore difficult feelings and build practical coping strategies tailored to their circumstances. John blends evidence-based therapies with relational work, using methods that focus on understanding attachment patterns, regulating emotions, and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

His work also addresses issues like grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, along with a range of attachment and personality-related challenges. He frames therapy as a partnership and encourages those taking the first steps to seek support.

Combining relational and skills-based approaches in online therapy

John uses attachment-informed work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions in ways that address both relational patterns and daily struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and helps clients develop more supported ways of relating to others and themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work John emphasizes in sessions. He partners with clients to clarify goals, discusses which methods may be most helpful, and adapts strategies over time so the process fits each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when life gets busy or travel is necessary.
