About John
John Uriarte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 39 years of clinical experience. He trained at the University of California, Berkeley and has worked with veterans, service members, and civilians. His practice focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting, sleep problems, grief, and family of origin issues.
He keeps sessions direct and practical. He listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep repeating from their family background. He uses clear talk, guided exercises, and steps to try between sessions. He will work with someone on career transitions, separation or divorce, and challenges that follow big life changes.
Uriarte draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, client-centered methods, and attachment-based ideas. He may use these to help people notice unhelpful thinking, practice different behaviors, and strengthen important relationships. Hypnotherapy and existential techniques are also part of his toolbox when appropriate.
He has extensive experience with military-related stress, first responder issues, and compassion fatigue following long-term caregiving or service. Many years of counseling at Veterans Affairs and in military settings inform his approach to trauma and readjustment concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and operate through an online booking process. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to act according to their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions tied to family patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy and family of origin issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week and fewer travel requirements. Some people prefer shorter check-ins while others schedule a full-length session around work or caregiving responsibilities. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered and how they might fit your routine.
