About John
John Uriarte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with nearly four decades of clinical experience.
Background and approach
He began his social work career after earning a Master’s in Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley and has worked in varied settings that include military and veterans’ care. His practice emphasizes listening first and providing steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related challenges among other issues.
John draws on a range of therapeutic methods to tailor work to each person's needs, blending client-centered listening with evidence-informed strategies such as cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based approaches. He also brings experience with life transitions, chronic health and caregiving stresses, compassion fatigue, and sleep and anger difficulties.
The tone of his work is direct and practical, aimed at helping people move forward rather than remain defined by past events. Prospective clients in Texas can expect a therapist who prioritizes collaboration and problem solving grounded in many years of clinical practice.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
John often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach can be useful for managing anxiety, living with chronic stress, and improving overall life direction. He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with more adaptive strategies to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He takes a collaborative stance, assessing a client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances to determine whether ACT, CBT, or elements of other methods will best support progress. The process is iterative, with techniques adjusted as needs and goals evolve.
Online therapy with him is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy or geographically dispersed clients. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into life routines, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent therapeutic support without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tools for each format so clients receive focused, practical care in a way that suits their schedule.
