About David
David Chris Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and works with people who are outside the United States as well.
He keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He creates space for people to speak openly about thoughts and feelings. He emphasizes listening first and helping people name what matters to them.
How David works
His work draws on several practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions connect and helps change patterns that cause distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life even with difficult emotions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to address traumatic memories and strong emotional reactions. Over 12 years he has helped people with a wide range of issues. These include body image, commitment and communication problems, family of origin concerns, fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and life purpose questions.
He also addresses mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and process addictions like gambling or problematic pornography and exercise. Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Getting started involves selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling based on availability.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions toward them even when strong feelings are present. It helps people tolerate difficult emotions while building a life that matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used to process distressing memories and reduce intense reactions tied to past events.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose or blend methods so sessions match the client’s needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirrors in-session. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, and easier scheduling around work or caregiver duties. These options make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy life and let licensed professionals deliver real therapeutic work from different locations.
