About John
John Klenke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard moments. He focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. His work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, and family concerns.
He speaks English and practices in Oklahoma, and he accepts international clients. John draws on five years of professional counseling experience. He adapts sessions to each person’s needs and focuses on building respect and empathy in the room.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to clarify what matters most and to create manageable goals. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that get in the way. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress and grounding during difficult moments.
Emotionally-focused tools can be used when relationship feelings and family dynamics are central concerns. John also addresses issues like parenting stress, addiction, grief, intimacy-related problems, anger, career pressures, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He pays attention to family-of-origin patterns, blended family dynamics, and communication problems when those relate to current struggles.
Sessions can include problem-solving, skills practice, and supportive listening. The goal is to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and calmer days. John aims to meet clients where they are and adjust approaches as progress unfolds.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
John combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to keep sessions focused and practical. Client-centered Therapy means the conversation is led by the client’s priorities and paced to their comfort, which helps when dealing with family stress or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought and behavior patterns that increase anxiety or depression and teaches clear steps to change them.He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotional patterns in relationships are at the core of the problem. EFT helps people name their feelings and respond to each other in ways that repair connection and reduce conflict. Together these approaches let a therapist tailor work to both individual symptoms and family dynamics.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. John will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative path means therapy can shift as needs change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier and allow work to continue between appointments. They can help families and individuals fit therapy into busy days while still using the same hands-on tools and conversations used in person.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
