    About David

    David Chris Johnson is an LPC based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addiction. He also supports work on relationships, self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. He speaks English and Spanish and has 12 years of clinical experience.

    He aims to make meetings feel open and nonjudgmental. He creates space for people to talk through their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. The first step, he says, is often the hardest and he acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.

    In sessions he uses practical approaches such as Motivational Interviewing to build motivation for change and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people clarify values and move toward meaningful action.

    He has worked with concerns including body image, communication problems, family of origin issues, fatherhood concerns, guilt and shame, and life purpose. He also addresses process addictions such as pornography, exercise, and gambling as well as mood disorders and panic attacks.

    David seeks to meet people where they are and tailor his approach to individual goals. He encourages a collaborative process that respects each person's pace and priorities.

  2. How his approaches translate to online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons to change and resolve mixed feelings. In short sessions it encourages small, achievable next steps and strengthens commitment to them.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that match those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and finding direction when life feels stuck.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience by offering empathic listening and validation. It supports people who need space to process emotions and regain confidence.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with motivational work, adding cognitive tools, or using acceptance-focused practices over time.

    Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. It also lets people use phone or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult, helping therapy fit into everyday routines without forcing a single format.
