Chris Johns

Chris Johns is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 27 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, grief, and depression. His approach aims to make therapy practical and understandable for anyone taking a first step toward change.

Johns works in a calm, nonjudgmental way and uses straightforward tools people can use between sessions. He listens closely to each person's story and helps set clear, achievable goals. Sessions often include identifying patterns that keep problems going and trying small changes to improve daily life.

He draws on client-centered methods to build trust and active collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Trauma-focused and mindfulness approaches are available when past hurt or persistent stress is affecting everyday functioning.

Over his career Johns has supported people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment challenges, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and body-image concerns. He also assists those coping with adoption and foster care matters, aging-related stress, and complex co-morbid conditions.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and is provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and uses that foundation to set goals and next steps. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to sort through problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes brief exercises to try between sessions and clear steps to measure progress. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, and stress management.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience with simple practices that reduce reactivity and increase awareness. It can be useful for managing persistent worry, trauma-related symptoms, and everyday stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with one method and adding others as progress is tracked.

Many people find online therapy helps fit care into busy lives because sessions can be scheduled without travel and can take place from different locations. Practical benefits include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, less time spent commuting, and the ability to use focused in-session exercises that support day-to-day routines.
