About
John Abreu, LCSW, is a New York-licensed clinical social worker with 7 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, LGBTQ+ related issues, and experiences of trauma and abuse.

He approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating space for clients to speak openly and feel understood. John is known for a grounded, down-to-earth style paired with professional skill and steady empathy, helping clients navigate difficult emotions and patterns without judgment.

Therapeutic Tools That Fit Online Life
John Abreu draws from approaches that translate well to online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and identity-related experiences at their own pace, with the therapist listening closely and collaborating on goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It can be especially useful for reducing unhelpful patterns related to anxiety, guilt and shame, and day-to-day stress by practicing new ways of thinking and responding.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions through attention and awareness skills. This can support clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck in rumination, or disconnected from the present moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. John works collaboratively, adjusting the focus based on what a client wants to change, what has or has not helped in the past, and what feels most comfortable to try now.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Sessions can happen by video calls or phone sessions, and support can continue between sessions through live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and get help in the moments it is most needed.
