David Chris Johnson

David Chris Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with addictive behaviors. He also supports those struggling with self-esteem, relationships, and motivation. He speaks English and Spanish and brings 12 years of experience to his work.

He keeps sessions straightforward and calm. He creates a space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. The aim is practical change - small steps that feel doable between sessions.

David uses a mix of therapies to match each person’s needs. He often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and steady emotion. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns in thinking and behavior, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client’s priorities.

For people dealing with trauma or intense memories, he includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. Motivational Interviewing is used for those wrestling with addiction or low motivation to help find internal reasons to change.

He encourages anyone who is unsure about starting to take a small step - fill out a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. That first visit is a chance to explain what’s most pressing and decide how to move forward together.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters most to you and taking committed steps aligned with those values. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and decisions that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. That approach often helps with panic, depression, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy gives the person space to lead the conversation while the therapist listens and reflects; it helps when someone needs to be heard and to build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to decide together which methods to try. That collaborative planning can change over time based on how a person responds.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively over distance, helping clients practice skills, process memories, and stay accountable between meetings.
