John Funk, LCSW

John Funk is a licensed clinical social worker who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage worry, low mood, and relationship struggles. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel less intimidating for someone looking for help.

He focuses on common problems like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, grief, and sleep or eating concerns. He also supports people facing intimacy-related issues, challenges tied to ADHD or bipolar experiences, and those coping with major life changes. His practice includes care for issues linked to trauma and abuse as well as compassion fatigue.

John combines CBT with attachment-based and client-centered ways of working. That means he helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns while also looking at how past connections shape present reactions. Sessions are meant to be collaborative and straightforward, with practical steps people can try between meetings.

Across 15 years in the field he has worked with a wide range of concerns related to communication, commitment, codependency, abandonment, dissociation, and divorce or separation. He draws on skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotional regulation and relationship repair are a focus.

John practices in Texas and offers sessions in English. He provides care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How John blends evidence-based approaches online

John commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current reactions and to support healthier connection patterns. Client-Centered Therapy is part of his work too, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s goals steer the process.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit a short break or work around bandwidth limits; live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
