About David

David Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 24 years of clinical experience. He draws on a long history of work with relationship and family concerns, helping people address issues like communication breakdowns, parenting challenges, anger management, anxiety, and stress.

Background and approach

His background also includes support for mood disorders, addiction-related concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and life transitions including aging-related matters. David approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and constructs individualized plans that reflect a person’s goals and circumstances.

He uses practical, evidence-informed methods to build motivation, strengthen self-esteem and confidence, and improve day-to-day coping. Clients looking for focused, solution-oriented work can expect collaborative sessions that aim to identify concrete steps toward change while also attending to the emotional and relational factors that affect wellbeing.

Online approaches that focus on practical change

David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with self-esteem. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of his practice and centers on clarifying goals, recognizing strengths, and developing small, achievable steps toward desired changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the plan feels useful and relevant. Clients are invited to shape treatment priorities and review progress throughout the work together.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent contact, try brief check-ins when needed, and access care from wherever the client is located in Texas.
