About John

John Uriarte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has practiced clinical social work for decades. He earned a Master of Social Welfare and began his clinical career in 1987. He brings steady, straightforward help to people facing hard transitions and persistent stress.

He keeps sessions focused and practical. He listens first, then helps people name what matters and take small steps toward it. He works with common problems such as anxiety, depression, grief, sleep troubles, and stress from work or caregiving.

Background and approach

John draws on approaches that encourage present-focused choices, clearer thinking, and stronger emotional connections. That means sessions often include skill practice, honest talk about values and goals, and attention to relationship patterns. He also uses methods that help people rethink unhelpful thoughts and stay grounded in what they can control.

His background includes long experience with military life and veterans, and many years helping people adjust after major life changes. He is comfortable talking about trauma and the ways it changes relationships and daily routines. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, parenting strain, and career stress.

People who come to him can expect a direct, respectful therapist who values collaboration. He helps clients set clear goals, try practical techniques between sessions, and track small improvements. His aim is to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.

Online support

Approach and online sessions that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take action toward chosen values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy issues, family problems, and communication struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it often helps with anxiety, sleep issues, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative - adjustments are made as progress is tracked and new challenges appear.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when it helps. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when scheduling a longer session is difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
