About David
David Chris Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and depression. He meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life feel more manageable. He encourages small changes that add up over time and acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage.
In sessions he aims to build a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct and collaborative. He listens first, then works with each person to set realistic goals and test what helps between appointments. David draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape the work.
He may also use EMDR and Motivational Interviewing when those methods fit a person’s needs. He explains options plainly and helps people choose practical strategies to reduce symptoms and increase daily functioning. With 12 years of experience, he has supported people with concerns that include panic attacks, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and process addictions like gambling or problematic pornography use.
He also addresses issues around body image, fatherhood, commitment, and forgiveness. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and he works with clients in Texas as well as people in other locations. The focus is on steady progress, clear communication, and finding tools that fit each person’s life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep problems going. It often helps with panic attacks, mood concerns, and unhelpful thinking habits.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and creating a supportive environment where a person can explore issues at their own pace. This approach helps people build insight and self-compassion over time.
Finding the right fit is part of the process and the therapist works collaboratively to decide which approach or combination will best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is noticed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
