John Uriarte

John Uriarte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with decades of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. He earned a Master’s in Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley, and has practiced clinical social work since 1987. His style is grounded and straightforward - he focuses on listening carefully and helping people take practical steps forward when the past feels like it is shaping the future.

John is also a 24-year U.S. Army veteran who retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. Over the course of his military career, he counseled soldiers and family members navigating the demands of military life. When the war in Iraq began, he continued providing counseling in the war zone, and after returning stateside he supported families as they adjusted to changes in their loved ones. As a civilian, he continued this work with the VA, helping veterans and their families cope with the effects of service and the stressors that can follow.

In addition to working with veterans, John brings extensive experience with phase-of-life concerns and transition points, such as moving from marriage to divorce, navigating midlife changes, or rebuilding direction after a major shift. He also works with concerns such as grief, intimacy and relationship issues, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, career challenges, compassion fatigue, attachment issues, and coping with natural or human-caused disasters.
