About John
John Reardon is a licensed clinical social worker with LCSW-C (Maryland) and LICSW (Rhode Island) and four years of professional experience. He focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and family of origin issues. He works primarily with adults who notice patterns from their upbringing affecting current life.
He starts by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they already use. Sessions are straightforward conversations about what is happening now and how past family roles and expectations may still shape decisions and feelings. He encourages practical steps clients can try between meetings.
In sessions he will talk through coping strategies for anxiety and anger, and approaches to manage mood shifts and grief. He also addresses issues related to identity and gender dysphoria, parenting stresses, and the strain of caregiving or end-of-life concerns. When adoption or foster care background matters, he helps people name how that history shows up in relationships.
John describes himself as collaborative and direct. He aims to help clients notice patterns, try small changes, and evaluate what works. He will discuss specific options during the early sessions so clients understand the plan.
His practice is based in Maryland and he provides services in English. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session to see how the work might proceed.
Approaches used and how online sessions can fit
John describes his work as evidence-based and practical. He often uses techniques that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and learn new coping behaviors. These approaches are helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress when people want tools they can use between sessions.He also works with strategies that focus on relationships and interaction patterns. This kind of work helps when family roles or past dynamics repeat in current partnerships or parenting. It can include looking at communication habits and trying small changes in how someone expresses needs.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will review your concerns, goals, and preferences in early sessions and suggest options to try. Then the two of you evaluate what helps and adjust the plan together.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people continue work when schedules or caregiving responsibilities make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and conversation for remote meetings so progress continues between sessions.
