About David
David Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 24 years of experience. He focuses on practical help for people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming.
He offers steady, respectful support while tailoring conversations to each person's needs. Sessions focus on real problems and clear goals rather than jargon. He works with common concerns such as parenting stress, blended family issues, caregiver strain, and codependency patterns that affect day-to-day life.
David uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to create short-term plans and build skills. That can mean spotting unhelpful thinking, trying a new behavior, or setting small goals that add up. He helps people manage symptoms of depression, bipolar challenges, addiction concerns, and grief while keeping the work practical.
Expect a direct but compassionate style that balances problem-solving with emotional support. He pays attention to what matters most to each person and revises plans when something isn’t working. The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and improved communication at home and work.
Choosing therapy can feel hard, but David aims to make scheduling and next steps straightforward. He encourages people to be honest about what they want from therapy and to move at a pace that feels manageable.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
David draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps and clear short-term goals to move past a stuck point.He treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client look at needs, goals, and preferences to decide what to try first. If something doesn’t fit, they adjust the plan and try different strategies until the work feels helpful.
Session logistics and precise formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can happen between work or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals often find that goal-focused approaches like CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy adapt well to remote sessions, allowing clients to practice skills between meetings and bring real-life examples back to therapy for quick problem-solving.
