About John
John Funk is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and addiction-related concerns. John also works with people facing grief, intimacy struggles, sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, attention challenges, and questions about self-esteem and life changes.
John uses straightforward, person-focused conversation to identify what matters most to each client. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. He listens for patterns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, people-pleasing, control issues, or codependency that keep someone stuck.
His practice draws on approaches like Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Those methods are used to map feelings, test out new behaviors, and build stronger ways of relating to others.
In a typical session John helps people notice the thoughts and routines that increase stress. Then he works with them to try different responses, practice boundary-setting, and repair communication where it has broken down. Sessions tend to be practical and focused on changes that matter in daily life.
People looking for help with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, commitment concerns, dissociation, or caregiver stress will find those topics covered in his work. Sessions are conducted in English and John practices in Texas.
How sessions work
How his methods translate to remote sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns affect current relationships. In practice this means talking about trust, closeness, and how someone reacts when a partner or loved one becomes distant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is used to spot unhelpful thinking, run small experiments, and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and decide together whether attachment-focused conversations, CBT skills, or emotion-focused work fits best. That collaborative process adjusts as progress is made and new challenges appear.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and keeping appointments without travel. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can let someone do shorter check-ins on a tight day, practice skills between work or caregiving tasks, or use sessions to prepare for difficult conversations at home.
