About David
David Chris Johnson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and depression. He sees people who want to understand how earlier family patterns still shape their choices and relationships.
David uses clear, direct conversation to help people talk through what’s happening now. Sessions focus on specific problems such as panic, low mood, or difficulty with commitment. He applies practical techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-oriented methods to help people notice and change unhelpful patterns.
He also brings tools for processing painful memories when needed. That can include approaches aimed at easing intense reactions to past events and reducing their hold on daily life. Motivational interviewing is part of his work with people facing addictions or struggling to make changes.
In sessions he leans on client-centered principles - listening, reflecting, and following what matters to the person in the room. Conversations often include simple exercises and homework to practice between visits. David works with matters tied to fatherhood, communication problems, body image, guilt and shame, and finding clearer direction in midlife.
He offers care in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Before booking, clients are encouraged to confirm current session options and scheduling procedures so they know how to get started.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and build actions that match their values. It’s often used for persistent anxiety, low mood, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. That approach is commonly used for panic, depression, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the individual can lead the work and identify what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the focus over time based on what helps. That decision is collaborative and revisited as progress is made.
The practical value of online sessions is that they can fit more easily into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Online sessions still include the same techniques such as CBT exercises, values-based work from ACT, and motivational interviewing for addiction-related goals, all adapted to work in a remote conversation.
