About John
Prof. John Checkett is an LCSW with 11 years of clinical experience based in Florida. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, LGBT-related matters, parenting, and career stress. He also supports people facing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
John brings an academic background in social sciences to his practice, including degrees in social work, communication arts, and women's studies, which he has taught at university level. He has experience in emergency mental health screening and worked in the prison system providing care for inmates with mental health needs. That variety of work has shaped a clear, direct style in sessions.
Sessions focus on straightforward conversation and practical work. He listens closely and helps people name what drives their reactions. He uses exercises from cognitive behavioral approaches to test thoughts and behavior patterns. He also draws on narrative and Jungian ideas to look at personal stories and deeper themes when useful.
People meet him for help with communication problems, intimacy and relationship strain, anger that comes up at home or work, and challenges around gender and identity. He also addresses caregiver stress, body image, and issues that connect to social justice themes.
John aims to combine practical coping tools with reflective work about personal meaning. He works with each person to choose strategies that fit their daily life and goals.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a therapist who reflects concerns back and clarifies goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anger, anxiety, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. He will work with each person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and daily life. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time as needs change.
Confirm the exact online session options before you book because the biography does not list specific formats. When choosing a way to meet, consider practical benefits such as fitting sessions into a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule around daily responsibilities and simpler to maintain week to week.
