About John
John Funk is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 15 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
John uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. He draws on Gottman Method ideas for relationship work, attachment-based thinking for connection and patterns, and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
He also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches when those fit a person’s needs. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. John listens for patterns that cause pain, then helps people try small, doable changes.
He often teaches simple skills to manage strong emotions, improve communication, and build steadier routines for sleeping and eating. He has experience supporting people through grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life changes such as separation or divorce. He also helps with issues like codependency, commitment worries, abandonment concerns, and dissociation.
John offers sessions in English and works with people across Texas. He uses a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. The first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

Online support
Online approaches for relationships and emotional regulation
John commonly blends Gottman Method ideas with attachment-based therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. The Gottman-influenced work focuses on improving communication, reducing negative cycles, and strengthening connection in close relationships. Attachment-based therapy looks at early and current patterns of relating to help people understand why they react a certain way to others. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors, offering practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize relationship skills, attachment work, CBT strategies, or a blend of methods that fits the situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other's reactions for communication work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into varied schedules and needs.
