About John
John Funk is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. He draws on 15 years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin.
In sessions he creates a calm space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. He listens for patterns rooted in attachment and emotion, then offers practical ways to respond to those patterns.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct but compassionate, and the goal is to make daily life feel more steady. John uses approaches that focus on emotions and relationships alongside skills-based methods. That mix helps with problems like panic, compulsive behaviors, anger, grief, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem.
He also supports people managing complex issues such as dissociation, addiction, bipolar mood shifts, and ADHD-related challenges. Over his career he has worked across settings that shaped his practical style. This includes helping people cope after losses, separations, or sudden life changes, and guiding those dealing with caregiver stress and codependency.
The work often blends exploring emotional patterns with learning new thinking and coping skills. Sessions can include short-term goals or longer work depending on what a person needs. John talks through next steps together, aiming for clear, usable tools people can try between appointments.

Online support
Emotion and attachment work in online therapy
John often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people understand and work with strong feelings. EFT focuses on identifying emotions, naming them, and changing negative interaction patterns that keep people stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people try new ways of connecting and responding. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a listening, nonjudgmental stance that lets people steer the pace and topics of sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk it through with each person and together decide which combination of methods fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and checking in about what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and have a deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing support between longer sessions or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable coping skills.
