About John

John Brennan is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who focuses on practical, goal-oriented work. He emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental approach and aims to help people make steady progress toward clearer family and personal functioning. He often uses solution-focused techniques to set concrete goals early.

That means sessions concentrate on what will help most right now and on small steps clients can try between meetings. He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support commitment and Internal Family Systems ideas to look at how different parts of a person influence thoughts and behavior.

Background and approach

His background includes four years as an LMFT in clinical work. He has worked with a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, anger, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and relationship problems. He also has experience addressing adoption and foster care matters and blended family issues.

Sessions are shaped around the needs people bring. John aims to keep conversations focused and practical while staying compassionate. He helps parents and individuals tackle communication problems, commitment worries, codependency patterns, and the strain of major life changes like divorce or cancer.

International clients may be supported in English through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their calendar.

How these approaches work online

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find personal reasons to change. It focuses on small steps, clarifying values, and increasing willingness to try new behaviors, which can help with issues like parenting burnout, anger, or motivation around ADHD challenges.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers sessions on clear, achievable goals and practical strategies. The therapist and client identify what would look different if a problem were smaller, then build short-term actions to move toward that change. This can be helpful when people want quick, usable steps to improve relationships or daily routines.

Internal Family Systems looks at how different inner parts influence behavior and feelings. It helps people notice those parts, understand their roles, and work toward more balanced internal choices - useful for anxiety, trauma reactions, or patterns of self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust over time based on what helps most. Clients set the pace and share feedback so sessions stay focused on what matters to them.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper therapeutic work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging can fit quick check-ins or notes between sessions. These options make it easier to work therapy into a busy life and to continue care when schedules change.
