About John
John Reardon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Rhode Island and a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical in Maryland with four years of professional experience. He focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and parenting. He also lists work around LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue.
He starts from the view that each person knows their story best. Sessions center on listening to what matters most and identifying strengths that can be used to manage problems. The first step often feels hard, and he treats that step as part of the work itself.
In practice he helps people talk through immediate problems and make small, practical changes. That might look like planning a short coping strategy for a high-stress day or trying a different way to approach a difficult conversation. He also supports people facing longer term challenges such as grief, addiction, or recurring family-of-origin patterns.
John draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions while keeping language straightforward and concrete. He aims to make each meeting a place to test ideas, practice new skills, and track what does and does not help. Sessions are suited to adults working through parenting strains, relationship stress, career pressure, or personal transitions.
He works in English and practices from Maryland and Rhode Island credentials. People who want to get started are invited to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online care
John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and relationship concerns. One common approach focuses on clear, skill-based strategies such as breathing work, activity scheduling, and behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, then trying more helpful ways of thinking and acting in real situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which techniques to try based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what seems to help in early sessions. That process is flexible and may shift as needs change.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use online meetings to practice new skills between sessions and track progress over time.
