About John

LMFT John Brennan is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist with four years of post-licensure experience. He focuses on parenting, anger, ADHD, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. John uses Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems in his work. He conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients.

John emphasizes quick, practical progress. He favors solution-focused work that aims to identify immediate next steps and measurable goals. Sessions typically center on specific challenges such as managing anger, coping with anxiety, or navigating parenting concerns. He uses motivational techniques to help people find reasons to change and to keep moving toward their goals.

When family and relationship problems come up, John looks at interactions and patterns that keep problems repeating. Internal Family Systems is used to help people notice different parts of themselves that influence behavior. This can be helpful for issues tied to trauma, shame, or strong emotions.

He has direct experience with adoption and foster care questions and with blended family dynamics from earlier work with children who experienced abuse or neglect. That background informs how he talks about parenting, fatherhood issues, and supporting young adults as they transition.

Sessions are practical and interactive. John frames work as collaboration: setting short-term steps, checking progress, and adjusting approaches as needed. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How his approaches inform online work

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their reasons for change and build commitment. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking steps toward a goal. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what is already working and on defining small, practical steps to make progress quickly. It is suited to clients who want focused problem-solving and measurable short-term gains.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, try approaches, and adjust as needed. This is a collaborative process where feedback and short-term checks guide which techniques continue to be used.

The biography does not name specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow sessions without a camera for times when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is preferable. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling and session style fit your daily routine.
