About John
John Uriarte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 39 years of clinical experience. He begins by listening and then helps people find practical ways to move forward from pain and stuck patterns. Many people come to him for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or parenting concerns.
He also addresses relationship and intimacy struggles and anger that get in the way of daily life. He draws on straightforward, client-centered work that focuses on what matters to each person.
Background and approach
He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles help clients clarify values and make purposeful changes. John’s background includes long experience supporting veterans and their families after military service.
That history shaped his approach to trauma, transitions, and caregiver strain. He also works with people facing chronic illness, attention-related challenges, and major life changes like divorce or job shifts. Sessions tend to be practical and grounded.
He helps people set clear goals, learn simple tools, and practice them between meetings. Work may include improving sleep, managing anger, rebuilding trust after infidelity, or finding steadier footing during a midlife transition. John aims to collaborate on steps that fit each person’s life and schedule.
He offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what works for them.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
John uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, then choose actions that fit their values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and making life transitions.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect trust and communication. This approach can be useful for intimacy issues, family problems, and rebuilding connection after conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals and daily life. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, between-session coaching, or step-by-step planning that fits a busy day.
