John Funk, LCSW

Attachment-informed and skills-based care online

John uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships affect current ways of relating and responding. That approach helps when patterns around closeness, trust, abandonment, or communication cause pain. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's goals and pace; this is useful when someone needs a steady, accepting presence while they sort things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients can expect collaboration on what to try in sessions and between them.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and do deeper work, phone can be easier when bandwidth or hands-free conversation is needed, live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins or practicing skills in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and let people choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
