About David

David Chris Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people handle stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship concerns. He supports clients working on self-esteem, motivation, and depression. His straightforward approach aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is nervous about starting therapy.

He creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce distress and build small habits that lead to clearer thinking and steadier moods. He listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the pace accordingly.

David draws on a mix of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. He also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on the client’s goals. For people with trauma or strong reactions to past events, he includes techniques from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate.

With 12 years of experience, he combines talk therapy with practical exercises and real-world experiments. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and he accepts international clients. He works with people who want clearer direction on life purpose, to repair communication problems, or to address process addictions and mood challenges.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and getting clearer about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of distressing memories when it is appropriate to use.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try options, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps match techniques to each person’s needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving commute time, making it easier to step away during a work break, or letting someone choose a quieter setting. Online sessions also make it simpler for people in different locations to connect with a licensed professional who uses ACT, CBT, or EMDR as part of therapy.
