About John White

John White is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin and remains active in Connecticut. He began his career in the Army as a Combat Stress Control specialist, supporting troops in Iraq, and has spent many years working with the Veteran population. Over that time he developed a particular interest in men's wellness and the complex issues that can affect it, including past trauma, self-worth and forgiveness, fatherhood and loneliness, sexual health concerns, relationship challenges, physical fitness, anger management, depression, and career decisions.

Colleagues and those he has worked with have found him personable and genuine, and he approaches difficult life questions with practical care rather than quick fixes. He values guidance and collaborative problem solving, drawing on trauma-informed work and solution-focused methods to explore where someone is and what they need. His style emphasizes honest, thoughtful, and compassionate listening while helping to identify or shape paths forward that may fit a person’s life and goals.

When someone is ready to address what feels heavy or stuck, he welcomes the opportunity to work together and to help craft steps toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

John White draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts or feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathic listening and support to help clients explore their own goals and solutions - this approach often helps with self-esteem, relationship problems, and feelings of isolation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and adapts techniques over time so treatment fits the individual's pace and priorities. Licensed professionals, including therapists, often blend methods to match the situation and to support steady progress.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain continuity when in-person visits are impractical. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow for different communication styles, and can increase access to ongoing support from a licensed professional.
