Dr. Juan Barthelemy, LCSW, LICSW

Dr. Juan Barthelemy is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Texas. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and brings nine years of professional experience to his practice. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with anger, addictions, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns including jealousy and intimacy-related issues.

Juan uses direct, respectful conversation to help people break patterns that cause harm. He works with practical goals such as managing anger, reducing substance use, and improving communication. Sessions emphasize clear steps and tools a person can try between meetings.

In many cases Juan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking and behavior that keep problems going. He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and track progress in concrete ways.

He tailors talks and plans to each person's situation, listening for cultural and life factors that shape a problem. Juan describes his role as supportive and empowering rather than prescriptive. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

People often come for help with parenting strain, blended family challenges, work stress, grief, or feelings of isolation. He also addresses issues tied to prejudice, discrimination, and multicultural concerns when these affect daily life. If a reader is unsure whether this approach fits, Juan recommends an initial conversation to see if the style and goals match.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Online work can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors between sessions. CBT focuses on small, practical experiments and clearer thinking to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits.

Motivational Interviewing is useful online when someone feels unsure about change. The therapist asks open questions, listens for strengths, and helps people find their own reasons to move forward. Solution-Focused Therapy supports setting brief, measurable goals and tracking small wins week to week.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, test approaches, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. That shared decision making helps match techniques to the person’s needs and preferences.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering sessions that do not require a camera. These practical options help people keep momentum while juggling parenting, work, and daily responsibilities.
