About John
John Uriarte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 39 years of experience. He began clinical social work after earning a Master of Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley and has worked in both military and civilian settings. He offers straightforward, practical help for people who feel stuck by past events or overwhelmed by current stressors.
He listens first and then helps people name the next step. Sessions focus on concrete problems like sleep disruption, trouble at work, or arguments with family. He also addresses grief, transitions such as divorce or retirement, and difficulties that come from medical or chronic health problems.
Uriarte has extensive experience with military-related stress and veterans' concerns from his 24 years in the U.S. Army and later clinical work with the VA. That history shaped his work with trauma, first-responder issues, and the ripple effects of service on family life. He welcomes veterans and civilians alike.
His methods draw on cognitive behavioral ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment perspectives, and client-centered conversation. He uses straightforward, skills-focused techniques to help clients notice patterns and try new responses. Hypnotherapy is also listed among his tools.
People who reach out to him tend to be looking for practical ways to manage anger, anxiety, depression, or burnout. He emphasizes clear steps, problem solving, and building coping skills that fit day-to-day life.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move a person toward a life they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people work on trust, boundaries, and communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try approaches that fit the issue at hand and adjust based on what helps most.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on difficult days. They can also let someone use phone-only meetings when video would be a burden, or pick times that work around work or family obligations. Discussing practical scheduling and format options happens during the intake and early sessions so therapy fits everyday life.
