About David

David Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, anger, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and changes that come with aging.

He focuses on straightforward conversations. Sessions look at what is happening now and what practical steps can reduce tension and improve everyday interactions. David uses proven approaches such as cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused work to map out short- and mid-term goals.

Clients often bring issues like parenting stress, caregiver strain, trouble with communication, and feelings of guilt or shame. He also assists with problems tied to addiction, grief, trauma, mood concerns such as depression or bipolar disorder, and work-related stress. He addresses both the immediate problem and the patterns that keep it alive.

His style emphasizes clear tools and homework you can try between meetings. That might mean tracking situations that trigger anger, testing small changes in how you speak up, or breaking big problems into manageable steps. He favors measurable progress over vague talk.

People who choose him tend to want direct strategies they can use at home or work. He helps plan realistic changes and checks how those changes are going. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and priorities.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

David uses cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused work in sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on current strengths and practical next steps to move past a specific problem quickly.

He treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. Early meetings focus on what you want to change, how you prefer to work, and which techniques feel useful. Together you set short-term goals and adjust methods based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are supported. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be hard to schedule. Some formats may also be simpler when you need less bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Talk with him about which option matches your routine and goals.
