John Bazan , LCSW

John Bazan is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who has spent more than eight years providing individual counseling to adults facing a range of life challenges. They work with people managing stress and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, support those coping with addictions, and assist clients navigating LGBTQIA-related concerns, grief and loss, and relationship difficulties.

John approaches therapy with the belief that each person holds agency over the story of their life and that existing strengths can be mobilized to meet everyday challenges. They combine empathic listening with practical strategies to help clients regain balance, build resilience, and pursue more fulfilling patterns of living. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), John brings trained clinical skills alongside a collaborative, respectful stance toward identity and personal values.

Beginning therapy is often a courageous step, and John offers steady professional support for people taking that step. They aim to create a space where clients can explore goals, try new ways of coping, and shape the changes they want to see in their lives.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

John Bazan uses a blend of well-established therapeutic approaches that translate effectively to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it is often useful for stress, life transitions, and patterns that keep people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and building practical skills to change them; it can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and relapse prevention in addictions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, non-directive stance that supports identity exploration, self-esteem, and relationship concerns by prioritizing the client’s own goals and experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and John works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include blending techniques from different models as appropriate.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to keep appointments, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations. These options support consistent, practical work on goals while accommodating busy schedules and varied needs.
