David Chris Johnson, LPC

David Chris Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and depression. He keeps the first sessions simple and direct so people can talk about what matters most. He speaks English and Spanish and has twelve years of experience supporting adults through hard moments.

He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to share thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long lectures. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns.

David blends ACT and client-centered work to help people find what matters to them and move toward those values. For trauma or distress linked to past events he may use EMDR when appropriate. Motivational Interviewing helps people build their own reasons for change when motivation feels low.

Sessions typically include setting clear goals, trying small experiments between meetings, and checking what’s working. He pays attention to relationship patterns, communication problems, family of origin issues, and concerns like body image or fatherhood. He also addresses process addictions such as gambling, exercise, or pornography when these cause distress.

People who reach out can expect straightforward language and a focus on usable skills. David aims to work collaboratively so clients leave sessions with a concrete next step.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

David commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and behavior changes.

He also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them even when difficult feelings appear. ACT can help with stress, motivation, and finding direction. Client-centered work is part of his style too, which means sessions are guided by what matters most to the person and paced to their needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as needed so the work feels useful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize based on real-world progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
