About David
David Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He brings 24 years of experience to conversations about relationships, family dynamics, parenting, and personal challenges. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and practical for people reaching out for help.
He focuses on real concerns like anger, anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, and changes tied to aging. He also addresses issues such as self-esteem, intimacy, career shifts, and mood disorders including depression and bipolar.
Background and approach
David adapts his approach to the situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. In sessions he uses clear, goal-oriented methods that help people identify what’s not working and try different ways of coping. He draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to create concrete steps clients can test between meetings.
The work tends to be practical and action-based rather than abstract. David emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in how he communicates. He builds treatment plans around each person’s needs and preferences.
His style is direct but supportive, aiming to help clients make steady change. For those navigating family stress, parenting challenges, relationship friction, or life transitions, he offers steady guidance and straightforward tools. He encourages people to take small, manageable steps and stays focused on helping them move toward clearer goals.
How his approaches work online
David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into clear parts so clients can test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, achievable steps toward specific goals. This approach is useful for relationship issues, parenting challenges, and situations where clients want quick, practical changes.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then match methods that fit the situation. That means plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and allow steady contact while working on goals from home or another convenient place.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
