David Chris Johnson

David Chris Johnson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 12 years of experience. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on life purpose, fatherhood issues, and problems tied to family of origin and communication.

His sessions are conversational and practical. He listens to what matters most and helps people name specific patterns that get in the way. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to help clients try different ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings.

David also uses narrative techniques and motivational interviewing to help people clarify values and make changes. For clients with trauma or intense memories, he includes EMDR as one option to address distressing experiences. He adapts methods to what a person prefers rather than pushing a single model.

He offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Scheduling starts with a short matching questionnaire and a first appointment. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

People who are unsure what comes next often begin by naming one small concern. David helps them work on that first step, then looks at the next one together. His approach aims to be straightforward and focused on real-life changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept hard thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters to them. It focuses on small, value-based actions that can change daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test and shift unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used for distress tied to upsetting memories and can be used when trauma symptoms interfere with life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying one method, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single technique from the start.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday, reduce travel time, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to carry out ACT exercises, guide CBT homework, and adapt EMDR protocols when appropriate, with practical steps to help clients apply what they learn between sessions.
