About John

John Brennan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with four years of experience. He works with adults on parenting, anger, ADHD, stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

He focuses on practical, short-term work that aims to produce early momentum. He uses solution-focused methods to set clear goals and start making changes within a few sessions. He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people build motivation for change and Internal Family Systems ideas to look at the parts of a person's inner experience.

In sessions he keeps conversation direct and interactive. He listens for what is getting in the way of daily life and suggests concrete steps to reduce outbursts, manage frustration, or improve communication. He helps parents and individuals sort through parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care concerns, and fatherhood issues.

He also works with people facing stress from medical issues such as cancer, and common relationship strains like jealousy, commitment worries, codependency, and separation. He offers practical strategies for managing ADHD-related difficulties, anger around work or home, and the aftereffects of trauma.

Clients will find brief, goal-oriented sessions that focus on what to try between appointments. The therapist uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches shape online sessions

Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflections to boost commitment when frustration or low motivation gets in the way of better behavior. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and goal-setting so progress can begin quickly and be measured from session to session. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person’s inner experience, which can help when anger feels driven by competing impulses rather than a single cause.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit a person's goals, situation, and comfort. That process is practical and flexible, not a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are less disruptive to work or family life. Licensed professionals use these approaches to keep sessions focused on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings.
