About John
John Reardon is a licensed clinical social worker with four years of professional experience. He holds LICSW in Rhode Island and LCSW-C in Maryland. He approaches therapy as a collaborative process and aims to support people who want clearer direction and more satisfying relationships.
John believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. He helps people identify those strengths and use them to move through hard moments. The first step can feel scary, and he focuses on steady support as people try something new.
In sessions he listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addictions. He also supports those dealing with codependency, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and career worries.
John offers straightforward, practical conversation and helps people set small, realistic goals. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional pain and improve daily functioning. Over time clients often develop clearer boundaries and stronger coping skills.
He also addresses less talked-about concerns like loneliness, emptiness, dissociation, and compassion fatigue. John brings attention to life transitions, end-of-life issues, and questions around gender identity and adoption or foster care backgrounds. His work is rooted in listening, respect, and steady guidance.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and replacing them with practical skills for coping and problem solving; this works well for anxiety, depression, and stress. Another frequent focus is helping people build stronger boundaries and healthier relationship habits, which can reduce codependent behaviors and improve intimacy.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss a person's goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which techniques to use. Adjustments are made over time so the work fits each person’s needs.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling a shorter check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time to an office. It also allows people to attend when they need consistent weekly support without rearranging large parts of their day.
