About John

John Funk is a licensed clinical social worker who uses relational and practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. He draws on methods that focus on attachment, emotions, and practical skills to help people feel steadier in daily life. He offers straightforward conversations in a calm, nonjudgmental way.

Sessions center on understanding what matters most to each person and building small, useful changes that fit into real life.

Background and approach

John aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are nervous about starting therapy. Over 15 years of practice inform his approach. He helps people work through trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and addiction concerns.

He also addresses intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and self-esteem struggles. John pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns and to patterns such as codependency, control issues, and communication problems. He works with people coping with major life changes, divorce and separation, dissociation, and caregiver stress.

Therapy often includes learning emotion regulation and practical coping skills. Clients can expect a blend of talk and skill practice tailored to their needs. John uses elements from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and emotionally-focused strategies to help people change unhelpful patterns and build more satisfying connections.

Online support

How attachment and skills-based work translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people spot patterns in closeness and distance and practice new ways of connecting and trusting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical alternatives. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and for breaking cycles of avoidance or rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide whether to emphasize emotion-focused exploration, cognitive skill work, or a mix that fits daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, or travel.
