About John
John Reardon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Rhode Island and an LCSW-C in Maryland with four years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also addresses LGBT issues and supports people coping with life changes and career strain.
John treats clients as the experts in their own stories. He focuses on practical steps people can use each week. Sessions aim to identify what keeps patterns going and to try small changes that reduce overwhelm and reactivity.
In sessions he talks through challenges plainly and directly. He helps people notice triggers, practice new responses, and build momentum through achievable goals. He also addresses deeper themes like family of origin, shame, and unresolved loss when those come up.
John has worked with issues tied to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and gender dysphoria. He also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, isolation, codependency, and hospice or end-of-life counseling.
His style is collaborative and straightforward. He asks questions, offers observations, and checks in about what is useful. If someone wants to try sessions, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting to see how the approach fits.
How sessions work
Approaches you can expect and how online sessions work
John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps people can try between sessions. One common approach is practical skills work that targets triggers and teaches alternative responses; this helps reduce snapping reactions and manage irritation in daily life. Another is structured problem-solving that breaks down stressful situations, so decisions feel more manageable and anger has fewer footholds.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to see which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying a method, checking how it lands, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a fixed path from the start.
