About David

David Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 24 years of experience. He focuses on practical steps people can take to feel more steady and confident in their relationships and daily life. David uses straightforward language and a calm presence to help clients sort through pressing concerns.

He works with people facing relationship strain, family and parenting pressures, anger, low self-esteem, stress, and anxiety. He also supports those dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and eating concerns. Additional areas include career challenges, bipolar and depressive symptoms, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.

David often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to build on what already works in someone’s life and set realistic goals. Sessions emphasize clear steps and skills that can be practiced between meetings.

His style is respectful and direct, with attention to each person’s unique situation. He tailors conversations and treatment plans to reflect individual needs and preferences. Many people come for help sorting priorities, improving communication, and learning ways to manage strong emotions.

Taking a first step can feel hard, and David frames that step as a sign of courage. He offers steady support as people try new approaches, track progress, and adjust plans when needed.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger by breaking problems into smaller, manageable tasks and practicing skills between sessions.

He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which looks for what already works and builds short-term, realistic goals. This approach is practical for relationship concerns, communication problems, and moving past specific setbacks like infidelity or trust issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That discussion happens early and is adjusted over time as progress and priorities change.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, reduce travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. It also allows follow-up and skill practice to be scheduled around everyday routines rather than requiring long commutes.
