About David
David Chris Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and brings 12 years of experience to sessions. He focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where people can name what’s hard.
Sessions are straight talk about feelings, choices, and practical steps to feel better. That can mean learning new coping skills, working through stuck patterns, or improving communication skills.
Background and approach
David uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. He may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and actions, or Client-Centered methods to follow what the person brings to the room. He also offers EMDR and motivational interviewing when those fit the goals.
In a typical session he listens first, then offers simple strategies you can try between meetings. He helps set small, doable goals and tracks progress over time. The work emphasizes real-life changes rather than long lectures.
People who reach out can expect collaborative planning about next steps. Getting started includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works. David uses several online formats to make participation easier for different routines and needs.
Therapeutic approaches that work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when someone feels stuck or is unsure what direction to take in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches straightforward skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, with the therapist following the person's lead to build insight and self-acceptance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest methods that fit those aims. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect: video calls for fuller interaction, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel and let people choose the format that helps them stay consistent with the work.
