About John
John Bazan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience offering individual counseling in Texas. John works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. He also supports clients navigating LGBTQ issues, grief, relationship strain, and ADHD-related challenges.
John frames therapy around each person’s strengths and choices. He uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice patterns, test changes, and build practical skills. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the person needs that week.
Background and approach
In the room John blends techniques from acceptance and commitment approaches, cognitive behavioral methods, and mindfulness. He helps people learn new ways to handle difficult emotions, manage impulses, and make values-based decisions. Therapy can include short skills practice, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and experiments between sessions.
John has worked across a range of mood and trauma-related concerns. That background informs how he supports someone coping with life transitions, bipolar mood patterns, anger, or past abuse. He also offers experience addressing sexual and relationship diversity including kink, polyamory, and gender dysphoria.
People who benefit most tend to want practical strategies and a steady, nonjudgmental guide. John aims to make the process feel manageable and to help people build habits that fit real life. He welcomes conversations about goals and how therapy could work for each person.
Therapeutic tools and online access
John uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small steps toward a life that feels meaningful. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and committing to actions that matter to the person.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete behavior changes. CBT often includes short exercises and between-session practice to test new ways of reacting to stress or mood shifts.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. John works with each person to decide which tools fit their goals, needs, and daily routine. He checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text are handy for brief check-ins or when a quick update fits into a busy day. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, and family schedules while keeping care consistent.
