About John
John Brennan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with four years of experience. He lists a range of concerns he helps people with, including parenting, anger, ADHD, stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also notes work related to adoption and foster care, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, and young adult issues.
He uses straightforward, solution-focused work to aim for progress early in therapy. Sessions are interactive and goal-oriented. He draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change and Internal Family Systems to look at different parts of a person that influence behavior.
His background includes time working with families and with children who were abused or neglected and placed in foster care. That history informs how he talks about parenting, blended family dynamics, and adoption-related concerns. He notes experience with men's issues, jealousy, codependency, and commitment questions.
In sessions he focuses on practical steps and clear goals rather than lengthy theory. He helps people identify steps to reduce stress, manage anger, and cope with anxiety or depression. He also works with relationship and communication problems, including separation or divorce challenges.
People considering therapy are encouraged to complete the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The therapist accepts English-language clients and does accept international clients, and session pricing varies by location and uses a cancel-anytime subscription model.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
John uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and to build their own reasons for taking steps forward. That approach is useful for starting new habits, addressing motivation for work or study, or managing substance-related concerns.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and identify small, practical steps. This method is aimed at making measurable progress within a few sessions and can help with stress, anger management, or relationship communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and recommend which methods to use. The plan is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a session time that fits work or study. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above to remote sessions, focusing on clear goals, homework between meetings, and step-by-step progress tracking.
