Chris Johns, LPC

Chris Johns is a licensed professional counselor with 27 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and depression. He aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can start feeling better in daily life.

Johns focuses on clear goals and simple strategies. Sessions are conversational and centered on the person in front of him. He listens for what matters most, then helps set realistic steps to manage symptoms and improve relationships.

His background includes long experience with trauma and grief work, and he draws on methods that help people process painful memories and build coping skills. He also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and body image stress.

Chris uses approaches that help change unhelpful thinking, build present-moment awareness, and center the client's experience in treatment. He encourages practical exercises clients can use between meetings. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who prefer a calm, straightforward style often find his approach helpful. He works collaboratively, setting goals that fit a client's life and responsibilities. To begin, readers are asked to use the provider's matching process to match and schedule a time that works for them.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's concerns guide each session. This approach helps people clarify their priorities and feel heard as they work through stress or relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides structured tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods over time. This collaborative process helps ensure the plan fits the client's life and pace.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when life gets hectic. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Many people appreciate meeting with licensed professionals remotely because sessions can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or travel without needing extra commute time.
