About Chris
Chris Johns is a licensed professional counselor with 27 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship difficulties, or the effects of past trauma. Chris aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can begin to feel steadier and more clear-headed.
He uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Together with a client he identifies goals and works on tools to manage intense thoughts and emotions. Many people come for help with worry, recurring stress, and problems that interfere with everyday life.
Chris draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on each person’s needs. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help people build calm and focus in day-to-day moments.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events are still causing strong reactions. Sessions move at a pace set by the client, with attention to safety and coping skills before exploring painful material.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
The practice uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, which helps build trust and clarity even when sessions are remote. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and tests small behavior changes, which works well through guided activities and homework that can be discussed between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the initial work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods over time if something isn’t working.
Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shortening travel time, allowing check-ins during a lunch break, or choosing audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while they work on stress, anxiety, trauma recovery, and related concerns.
