About John
John Reardon is a licensed clinical social worker who practices from Maryland and brings four years of professional experience to his work. He frames therapy around each person’s strengths and respects that clients know their own stories best. He emphasizes practical, steady support for people ready to make changes and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
He encourages clients to name what feels most pressing and to build simple strategies that fit daily life. Sessions focus on clear goals such as reducing anxiety, managing grief, coping with life changes, or addressing relationship and intimacy concerns. He also addresses issues like addiction, self-esteem, parenting stresses, and compassion fatigue in straightforward terms.
John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps the work collaborative. He listens for patterns from family of origin, identity concerns, and past trauma, then helps people try different ways of thinking and behaving to test what works. He supports people exploring gender dysphoria, LGBT matters, adoption and foster care histories, and aging-related challenges when those topics arise.
Practical problem solving is paired with attention to feelings. He helps clients spot avoidance, practice new communication skills, and plan small experiments to change routines. Sessions are meant to feel like a calm, focused place to try things out.
John offers services under the credentials LICSW, licensed in Rhode Island, and LCSW-C in Maryland. He provides therapy in English and works with adults seeking help for a wide range of life and mental health concerns.

How evidence-based work translates to online therapy
John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as short-term skills work that focuses on changing behaviors and thoughts, and trauma-informed approaches that pay attention to past hurt while building coping tools for the present. Skills work teaches practical steps for anxiety, mood, and stress, while trauma-focused methods help people make sense of difficult memories and reduce their day-to-day impact.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to use and how quickly to move between them.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking since current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also gives flexibility for people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a session that uses less bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based techniques to work effectively across different formats, and sessions are designed to support progress that fits into everyday life.
