About John

John Brennan is a Florida Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with four years of professional experience. He works with adults on concerns such as anger, parenting challenges, ADHD, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and depression. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use quickly rather than long academic explanations.

Brennan favors focused, goal-oriented conversations that aim to produce movement within the first few visits. He uses techniques that help people identify what triggers their anger and how to respond differently in the moment. He also helps parents and caregivers who are managing behavior, blended family dynamics, or issues tied to adoption and foster care.

His background includes work with families and individuals affected by trauma and abuse, and experience addressing communication problems, commitment worries, and fatherhood issues. He draws on approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to shape sessions and priorities.

In practical terms, sessions are interactive. He asks questions, reflects what he hears, and helps set small, achievable steps between meetings. Clients who prefer clear structure and concrete strategies tend to find this approach useful.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients may be accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site button.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

This therapist uses Solution-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems among other approaches. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying small, concrete changes you can try right away. It is useful for stress, anger, and problems that need quick, practical steps. Internal Family Systems looks at parts of a person’s internal experience and helps people understand inner voices that drive reactions like anger.

Choosing the right method is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try specific techniques and adjust the plan based on what the client reports between sessions.

The original biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use focused, structured conversations and short between-session tasks that fit into everyday life without requiring long appointments.
