About John
John Bazan is a Texas-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a decade of experience helping people navigate complex emotional and behavioral concerns. He has worked extensively with stress, anxiety, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, addiction challenges, and issues related to gender and sexuality.
Background and approach
His practice also addresses trauma and grief, self-esteem and anger, ADHD, and a range of relationship and intimacy topics including polyamory and alternative sexual cultures. Bazan approaches care from a strengths-oriented perspective, believing clients hold the capacity to shape their life narratives and build resilience.
He blends evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance-focused and mindfulness-informed practices to tailor support to each person’s needs. His background includes work with multicultural and medically relevant issues like HIV/AIDS, and he brings a direct, compassionate style to conversations about guilt, shame, and identity-related concerns.
Clients seeking flexible options will find he offers multiple remote formats and welcomes international clients while practicing from Texas. He frames therapy as a collaborative process, guiding people through coping with life changes and recovery from addictive behaviors while honoring individual values and goals.
How evidence-informed methods translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with addictive behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility through acceptance and mindful action, which can help with chronic stress, grief, and identity-related struggles. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and perspectives, providing empathetic support that helps people feel heard and empowered to make changes.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work; the therapist collaborates with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. This process often blends skill-building, values exploration, and supportive reflection so treatment evolves as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow for consistent appointments around work and life commitments, make it easier to maintain continuity during transitions, and offer several ways to engage with therapeutic tools between meetings.
