About John

John Funk is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. He focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and face other life challenges. He aims to create a calm space where someone can speak honestly and be heard.

With 15 years of experience, he draws on a mix of therapy methods to meet each person where they are. Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps as well as understanding emotional patterns. Conversations are direct but respectful, and the pace is set by the client's needs.

John works with common concerns like relationships, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, grief, and self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with sleep or eating issues, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and intimacy-related questions. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems, and coping with major life changes.

He uses approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These approaches guide how he helps someone notice patterns, learn new skills, and rebuild connections.

People who reach out are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies by location and scheduling factors.

How these approaches shape online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people notice patterns with closeness and trust and work toward more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and choices. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead, helping them name what matters and decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different tools, and adjust the plan together over time. That collaboration helps match methods to what actually feels useful for the person.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a break during the workday or avoiding travel time. Before booking, confirm what session formats are currently offered since options are not specified here. The focus will remain on building skills, addressing relationships, and managing stress and anxiety in ways that fit everyday routines.
