About Juan

Dr. Juan Barthelemy is a licensed social worker practicing in Texas. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and has nine years of professional experience.

He focuses on practical problems like addiction, parenting concerns, anger, anxiety, and mood issues. He aims to make the first steps toward change feel possible and manageable. He approaches care with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with concrete strategies to try between meetings. Dr. Barthelemy draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

These approaches help break unhelpful patterns, find motivation for change, and set short-term goals that lead to steady progress. He uses language parents can follow and offers clear next steps. In practice he addresses a wide range of concerns including family stress, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and substance use.

He also supports work on self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Cultural background and experiences with prejudice and discrimination are recognized as part of each person’s story. Dr.

Barthelemy works with a subscription-based session model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and may be conducted by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match needs and schedule the first session.

Therapy approaches and online options that fit busy lives

Dr. Barthelemy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as core tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday problems. Motivational Interviewing helps a person find their own reasons to change and build momentum when they feel stuck or uncertain.

He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and focus on practical steps that produce visible results. Together these approaches support real-life changes in parenting, relationships, substance use, and coping with stress or grief. Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people fit sessions around work, family, and school commitments and keep momentum between meetings. They can switch formats if needs change, and the variety helps clients stay engaged while working toward their goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
