John Reynolds, LCSW

John Reynolds is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 10 years of professional experience helping people navigate difficult transitions. He combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with coaching skills to support clients facing grief, career challenges, and major life changes, guiding them toward practical strategies and clearer next steps.

He approaches each person as the expert on their own life, looking for strengths and resources to build on while offering steady support through difficult moments. John works collaboratively to identify goals, develop coping skills, and address sources of guilt, shame, or interpersonal strain that can accompany change.

In addition to grief and career work, his practice attends to caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication difficulties, multicultural concerns, and workplace issues. He aims to create a space where clients feel empowered to make meaningful shifts and take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

John uses a blend of evidence-based, skills-focused techniques that help clients manage intense emotions, develop coping strategies, and approach problems with clear, practical steps. These approaches emphasize identifying patterns, practicing concrete skills, and setting achievable goals to address grief, workplace stress, and life transitions.

He also integrates coaching-informed methods to support career decisions and personal growth, concentrating on strengths, forward momentum, and actionable planning. That coaching orientation can help clients clarify values, weigh options, and take incremental steps toward meaningful change.

Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process. John works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds. Clients can explore different methods together and choose what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
