John Funk

John Funk is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and anger. He welcomes direct conversations and aims to make first steps feel manageable. He practices in Texas and communicates in plain, everyday language.

John focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can name what they are feeling. He listens for patterns that keep distress repeating, and then helps clients try different ways of responding. Sessions emphasize clear skills and steady problem-solving so people can notice change between meetings.

He draws from approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements of dialectical and emotionally-focused therapy. That mix is used to address anger, grief, addictions, sleep and eating struggles, self-esteem, and life changes among other concerns. The aim is practical relief rather than jargon.

John also attends to issues tied to attachment, abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and caregiver stress. He supports people coping with major transitions like divorce, loss, or disaster-related impact. He works with mood challenges such as bipolar symptoms and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and closeness. In sessions this can mean tracing how past losses or abandonment shape anger or trust issues and then trying new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood shifts, and anger by teaching concrete skills to change thinking and actions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and reshaping emotions in the moment to improve how people relate and feel.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in early, adjusting the plan, and combining techniques as progress becomes clear.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quieter or more flexible check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. Many people find online sessions let them practice skills in real-life routines and maintain momentum between appointments.
