John Reardon, MD, LCSW-C, LICSW

John Reardon is licensed in Rhode Island and brings four years of professional experience to his therapeutic practice. He works from the conviction that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be used to address the problems that feel overwhelming. Beginning therapy is a courageous step toward greater fulfillment and wellbeing, and he seeks to provide steady, compassionate support throughout that journey.

Holding MD, LCSW-C, and LICSW credentials, John combines formal clinical training with a collaborative approach that centers the client’s goals and values. The LCSW-C and LICSW designations are clinical social work licenses that authorize him to provide psychotherapy. He focuses on helping people identify practical strategies, build resilience, and pursue meaningful change at a pace that suits their needs, while honoring the knowledge clients bring about their own lives.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Therapy with John Reardon

John Reardon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and supportive processing. One approach emphasizes skills-focused work - teaching concrete strategies for managing stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and everyday coping so clients can apply tools between sessions. Another approach centers on trauma-informed, supportive exploration - helping clients process difficult experiences, grief, or relationship wounds while attending to emotional safety and pacing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and John collaborates with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He reviews progress together and adapts methods to align with what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access care from different locations. These formats allow ongoing, consistent work while accommodating busy lives and geographic constraints, helping clients engage in therapy in ways that match their routines.
