John Uriarte
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
About John
My name is John Uriarte, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I have been practicing clinical social work since 1987 when I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with my Master’s in Social Welfare. My approach to counseling is simple, I am here to listen and to help anyone who has the courage to ask for help. If you are letting the past dictate your future, then call me. Help is here.
I am a 24 year veteran of the U.S. Army and retired as Lieutenant Colonel . I treated soldiers and their family members who were dealing with the stressors of military life. When the war in Iraq started, I continued my counseling of soldiers in the war zone and when I returned, I was helping family members learning how to cope and deal with the changes in their loved ones. As a civilian, I continued my work with the VA. There I continued my work in helping veterans and their family members. If you are a vet, lets talk. If not, lets talk anyway. I am very good with phase of life problems and making transitions, like going from a marriage to divorce, a mid life crisis, etc.

- “John is very intuitive and without me even knowing myself - he was able to isolate my issues within just 20 minutes. That was a huge relief, as my big hangup was in thinking how long it would take for me to explain the complexity of the problems... turns out..... :) Also, I was worried about speaking to a man - I thought I wanted a woman to challenge me and to press me. Again... turns out.... John was perfect for me.”
