About David

David Chris Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He also supports those coping with addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and depression. He aims to make the first step feel doable for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

He builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than long lectures. David listens first and works with each person to set clear, achievable goals.

He uses several different therapeutic approaches to match what feels right for each client. Strategies may include exercises to shift unhelpful thinking, ways to reconnect with personal values, and techniques to reduce intense reactions when they arise. Work can include talking through relationship patterns, addressing addictive behaviors, and improving self-worth.

David draws on 12 years of experience in counseling. He brings steady, straightforward support and aims to help people build skills they can use outside sessions. He offers services in English and Spanish and is licensed in Texas as an LPC.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, so people can try therapy without a long-term commitment.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit into them

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice tight, unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It uses small exercises and values-based goals to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action, which can help with anxiety and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses clear steps and practice assignments to reduce symptoms like panic attacks, low mood, and unhelpful thinking. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience in the room, with the therapist reflecting and supporting self-directed insight and growth.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adjust based on how it feels and what progress is made. That collaborative process helps match techniques to a client's goals and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as reducing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It also lets people pick the setting and tools that suit them - for example, phone check-ins when bandwidth is limited or video sessions for a fuller face-to-face feel. Talk with the therapist about what format best supports quieter, focused conversations and consistent progress.
