About John
John Funk uses an approach grounded in attachment and client-centered work to help people navigate hard moments. He is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. He speaks English and focuses on clear, practical support for common concerns.
He helps people manage stress and anxiety with straightforward tools. He supports those coping with depression, anger, and addictions. Relationship and intimacy issues are a frequent focus, along with grief and identity questions for LGBTQ people.
Background and approach
Trauma and abuse, dissociation, and related symptoms are addressed with careful pacing and attention to safety. He also works on parenting strain, caregiver stress, and problems that come up after separation or major life changes. Eating and sleeping struggles are discussed alongside mood concerns such as bipolar and disruptive mood symptoms.
His practice uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and attachment-based work. Sessions emphasize practical strategies and clear communication rather than jargon. Clients are invited to set goals and test small changes between meetings.
John aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step help connect a person to therapy.
Online approaches that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people understand connection patterns and rebuild trust in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with anxiety, depression, and coping changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels manageable. Together they will try methods that match those goals and adjust as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual feedback and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and messaging offer brief touchpoints and ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while working on meaningful change.
