About John
John Funk is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas. He draws on 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel easier and less daunting for anyone who reaches out.
John focuses on practical ways to talk through strong emotions like anger, grief, and trauma responses. He also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep or eating troubles, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He will listen first, then work with each person to find what helps most.
Many people come to him for help after big life changes or disasters, whether natural or human-caused, and for the strain that caregiving or compassion fatigue can bring. He also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns and longer-term patterns such as codependency or avoidant tendencies. Sessions are shaped around the specific problems someone brings in.
John uses approaches that focus on relationships and present-day functioning. He combines talk-based work with tools to manage thoughts and behaviors so people have new ways to cope between meetings. His style is straightforward and grounded, with attention to what someone wants to change.
He practices in Texas and offers support in English. If this feels like the right next step, he encourages potential clients to begin the process and schedule a time to meet.
How relational approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online work can use this approach to talk through patterns in relationships and to practice different ways of connecting.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, giving space for them to lead the work. This style helps people feel heard and decide what goals matter most, whether addressing grief, anxiety, or life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions these tools can be practiced together and applied between meetings to reduce symptoms like panic, insomnia, or low mood.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to needs, try methods, and adjust plans with the client so the work fits their goals and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose quieter times, focus on skills practice, and bring real-life examples into conversation without changing the therapeutic focus.
