About John
John Funk is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on clear, practical therapy. He emphasizes honest conversation and steady support so people can name what feels hard and start to change it.
He uses approaches that center relationships and emotion, and he combines those with skills-based tools. That mix helps when stress or anxiety feel overwhelming, when relationships are stuck, or when trauma and abuse are in the background. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on real-life problems.
With 15 years of experience, he has worked with people facing depression, anger, addictions, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He also helps those dealing with sleep and eating struggles, attention challenges such as ADHD, and big life transitions like divorce or loss. His additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress.
In the room he keeps the tone direct and compassionate. He offers tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical strategies, while attending closely to emotional experience and relationship patterns. People are invited to try small changes and see what fits their life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it helps when trust, closeness, or avoidance get in the way of feeling connected. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the person brings to each session and uses empathic listening to help people find their own solutions and grow at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend options that make sense for the situation. People are encouraged to try different techniques and give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or follow-ups between in-person sessions. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the available online options before booking so they fit your routine.
