About John

John Bazan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings ten years of practice to individual counseling in Texas. John focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical support and clear steps forward. He speaks English and works with clients across regions, including international clients when appropriate.

John uses everyday language in sessions and aims to make therapy understandable. He helps people with stress, anxiety, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and substance use issues.

Background and approach

He also supports people navigating gender dysphoria, sexuality, and LGBTQ-related concerns. People often come for help after a big life change, grief, or when communication problems and relationship patterns cause repeated conflict. John pays attention to how habits, thoughts, and reactions get in the way.

Sessions focus on small, doable changes that make daily life feel better. His approach draws on several evidence-based methods to build coping skills and emotional awareness. He uses tools to manage intense emotions, reduce unhelpful thinking, and clarify values so choices line up with what matters.

The work is collaborative - clients set goals and John helps shape steps toward them. Outside of specific symptoms, John also works with concerns like shame and guilt, kink and alternative sex culture, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and issues related to HIV and multicultural identities.

He aims to create a respectful space where clients can talk honestly and try new ways of responding to difficult situations.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new, more helpful behaviors; it is frequently used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, self-harm urges, and mood swings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then blend techniques from different methods as needed. The plan can change over time if something isn’t working or priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face while staying in their own setting. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or during a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules, different time zones, and varied daily routines.
