About John
John Funk is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of practice. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first step easier for someone searching for support.
In sessions he builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they are feeling. He invites straightforward conversation about anger, depression, trauma, addiction, or other concerns.
Background and approach
The work often includes learning small skills to manage strong reactions and to handle conflict more clearly. John draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape how people respond now. He also uses client-centered listening so the conversation stays focused on what each person needs.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical alternatives. Many people come for help with sleep, eating, or coping when life changes suddenly. He also supports people facing grief, intimacy problems, caregiving stress, ADHD, and issues tied to abandonment or codependency.
Sessions aim to be collaborative, with goals set one step at a time. John practices in Texas and offers several online options. He encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed to take a small step toward help and offers clear guidance about how to begin.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help when anger or intimacy issues seem tied to fear of abandonment or difficulty trusting others. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person and their experience at the center of each session. This approach focuses on listening, reflection, and helping clients find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in thinking or behavior to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to focus on and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or flexible contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
