About John
John Klenke, LPC, practices a client-centered approach that keeps the person's needs first. He focuses on clear, practical steps for stress and anxiety. His style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at people who want real change without confusing language.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. He also brings in Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to address relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm the body and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.
Background and approach
With five years of professional experience, he has worked with a wide range of issues. These include depression, motivation and self-esteem, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes. He also helps people facing parenting challenges, career questions, and trauma or abuse recovery.
Sessions are tailored to each person. The conversation and plan are shaped around what matters to the client. John aims to be direct, compassionate, and practical during sessions so progress feels manageable.
He practices in Oklahoma and offers support for additional concerns such as ADHD, bipolar, communication problems, codependency, and family-of-origin issues. He welcomes LGBT clients and people dealing with compassion fatigue or substance-related problems. The goal is steady, achievable steps toward a more stable everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online sessions
John blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to give practical, goal-focused work. Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation centers on the client's concerns and values, so sessions emphasize what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and tests new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress.He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship or intimacy issues come up, helping people name and understand strong feelings and how those feelings affect connections with others. These approaches are used collaboratively; the therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client's needs and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when typing out thoughts feels clearer. These options aim to make therapy flexible and fit into daily life, so progress can continue even with a busy schedule.
