About John

John Uriarte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with nearly four decades of clinical practice.

Background and approach

He began his professional path after earning a Master’s in Social Welfare and has since worked extensively with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of life transitions.

His background includes long-term work with military personnel and their families, which shaped his experience addressing the effects of deployment, reintegration, and caregiving stress. Uriarte’s style centers on attentive listening and practical collaboration.

He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-oriented and attachment-informed perspectives to help clients examine thoughts, clarify values, and strengthen meaningful connections. His work also draws on client-centered and existential influences to support people navigating career shifts, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and other complex issues.

With a straightforward, respectful approach, he aims to help those ready to change patterns that keep the past influencing present choices.

Integrating practical therapies for online care



John Uriarte uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and stress-related concerns. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility so people can move toward meaningful activities even when discomfort is present. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence, emphasizing how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and helping clients build healthier relational habits.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with clients to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting strategies over time as needed to find the best fit for progress and resilience.

Online therapy with him is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and needs. These options make it easier to engage in regular work on stress, relationship concerns, trauma recovery, or life transitions without the constraints of travel, helping clients maintain continuity of care in the way that suits them best.
