About John
Prof. John Checkett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (FL LCSW) with 11 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, parenting and career-related struggles. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger, and coping with life changes.
He brings a background in social work, communication arts, and women's studies, and has taught at university level. He has experience in emergency mental health screening and in correctional settings. That mix of practice and teaching informs a direct, practical approach to problems.
Sessions focus on clear conversation and measurable steps. He uses client-centered conversations to clarify what matters to the person in front of him. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to test new ways of responding.
He also draws on Jungian and narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. Those methods can help with identity, self-image, and meaning after major life changes. The therapist pays attention to communication skills when relationships are strained.
People who reach out can expect straightforward discussion about goals and next steps. He will talk through options and practical strategies, including coaching elements when needed. Sessions are aimed at helping people manage day-to-day pressures and work toward clearer decision-making.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps clarify priorities, identify goals, and decide what changes feel realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks issues down into concrete patterns and tests small experiments to change them. Narrative Therapy examines the stories people tell about themselves. It can help reframe identity, address shame, and open up new possibilities for action.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT techniques, narrative reframing, Jungian ideas, or a combination fits best. This is based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than a fixed method.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. They can allow shorter check-ins, reduce time spent commuting, and make scheduling across a busy week simpler. The focus will be on practical strategies and usable skills that fit into everyday life.
