Dr. Juan Barthelemy

Dr. Juan Barthelemy is a licensed social worker practicing in Texas. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and brings nine years of professional experience to his work. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with anger and related problems. He aims to offer respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care.

He often supports people dealing with addictions, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and mood concerns such as depression and anxiety. He also addresses trauma, grief, self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD-related issues. His additional focus areas include blended family concerns, infidelity, fatherhood issues, and multicultural stressors.

In sessions, he tailors conversation and plans to each person’s situation. That means he pays attention to what matters most to the individual and adjusts the pace and focus accordingly. He emphasizes practical steps people can try between meetings as well as clearer ways to think about problems.

He uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide work. These methods are used to examine patterns of thought and behavior, increase motivation for change, and set short-term, achievable goals.

Dr. Barthelemy encourages people to take the first steps toward change and offers support along the way. He frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help clients build skills for handling anger, stress, and other life challenges.

How his approaches shape online therapy

Motivational Interviewing helps people who feel stuck or unsure about change by exploring their own reasons for taking steps forward. It focuses on strengthening personal motivation and resolving ambivalence, which can be useful for addictions and behavior change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, often used for anger, anxiety, and depression.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, practical goals and building on what already works. It moves quickly toward concrete steps and is helpful for people who want short-term, goal-oriented work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine techniques as needs evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel and allowing sessions during lunch breaks or between appointments. It also supports shorter check-ins or longer focused sessions depending on what someone needs.
