About John

John Uriarte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 39 years of practice. He begins sessions by listening and helping people who ask for support. He speaks plainly and aims to guide clients through changes and stress without judging their story.

He draws on long experience with military life and veterans care, including years treating soldiers and family members during service and after deployment. That background means he understands the ripple effects of trauma, stress, and readjustment.

Background and approach

He also has a history of working with people facing major life transitions like divorce and midlife shifts. John uses a mix of approaches to meet immediate problems and longer-term goals. He blends Attachment-based ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns, make values-based choices, and try different behaviors.

He also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person’s experience. Common concerns he helps people with include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, career challenges, ADHD, and family-of-origin wounds.

Sessions are conversational and practical. John aims to help people build skills they can use day to day, whether that means managing panic, improving communication, or coping with loss. He invites anyone willing to reach out to begin a conversation about their next steps.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

John blends Attachment-based Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that are easy to understand. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early connections shape current relationship patterns and can help with intimacy and communication problems. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-driven action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to create space for change.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then try methods that feel most useful. Over time they adjust the plan based on what works in real life, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is an issue, live chat or text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health limits while keeping focus on meaningful progress.
