David Johnson

David Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical support for people facing strong emotions and life shifts. He works with concerns such as anger, relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges tied to aging and parenting.

He uses clear, goal-directed conversations to help people find better ways to cope. His style is respectful and direct, with an emphasis on real-world steps you can try between sessions. He tailors talk and exercises to each person’s situation rather than relying on one fixed method.

David draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set realistic, short-term goals and highlight what is already working. These approaches aim to make change feel manageable and practical.

In sessions he concentrates on building confidence, improving communication, and reducing anger and stress reactions. He also addresses trauma, addiction-related concerns, grief, intimacy issues, and ADHD-related challenges when they affect daily life. He helps people navigate career changes, coping with life transitions, and relationship setbacks.

David presents treatments in straightforward terms and invites collaboration on the plan. If you want a therapist who focuses on action steps and clear goals, he offers a structured, compassionate way to work through difficult moments.

How David's Approaches Translate to Online Work

David commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying thought patterns that increase stress or anger and practicing different behaviors to reduce those reactions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger management, and mood regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy is another approach he uses that narrows attention to small, achievable goals and practical steps rather than lengthy exploration of the past. This can help when people want faster relief or a clear plan for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. David will discuss your goals and preferences and help choose methods that match what you want to accomplish. That collaborative process includes checking whether a CBT focus, a solution-oriented plan, or a blend makes the most sense for your situation.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks or evenings. It can also make it simpler to use focused, goal-driven exercises between meetings so progress continues between sessions.
