About John
John Uriarte, LCSW, is licensed in Texas and has 39 years of clinical social work experience. He uses plain, direct counseling: listening, helping people who ask for support, and addressing how the past influences the present. He lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family concerns, grief, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue among his core areas.
He is a retired Lieutenant Colonel with 24 years in the U.S. Army and decades of work with veterans and their families. That military background informs how he talks about transitions, coping with change, and readjusting after service. He also has experience working with first responder issues and caregiving stresses.
Therapy sessions focus on practical conversation and skills. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches, and Existential ideas. Hypnotherapy and trauma-focused techniques are also part of his toolkit when relevant.
He helps people facing life changes such as divorce, midlife transitions, career shifts, and the effects of chronic illness or pain. He addresses issues like anger, low self-esteem, commitment and communication problems, and the fallout of infidelity.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect long experience with PTSD, compassion fatigue, and stress related to emergency work. He works with adults on parenting and fatherhood concerns and supports those coping with ADHD and neurodiversity-related matters.
John asks new people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin. Fees vary by location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect trust, intimacy, and communication in adult relationships.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Plans are adjusted as progress or challenges emerge, and the clinician collaborates on which methods fit best.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and reduce travel time. Many people find it useful for continuing care after relocation or for maintaining regular appointments during life transitions.
