About John
John Funk is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. He draws on 15 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about what’s on their mind.
In sessions he listens for patterns that get in the way of feeling steady and connected. He uses approaches such as attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and emotionally-focused ideas are part of his toolbox when coping skills and emotion regulation are needed.
John has worked with issues related to trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, grief, intimacy, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar mood changes. He also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and coping after divorce or other losses. His experience includes helping people manage sleep and eating concerns and rebuild self-esteem.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. He helps clients set realistic steps, practice new skills between meetings, and check progress over time. People who value clear feedback and steady support often find this style helpful.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connection affects current trust and closeness. It helps people notice how they react to others and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build behaviors that improve mood and reduce anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend strategies that fit. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions emphasize emotion-focused work, skill building, or a mix of methods.
Session options and specific formats should be confirmed before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue work after major life changes, preserving momentum when starting or returning to therapy.
