About John
John Klenke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who combines client-centered and cognitive approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He focuses on practical steps you can use right away. He aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
John spends time listening first. He then works with each person to build a plan that fits their life and goals. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings, and everyday habits so people can gain more control and feel steadier day to day.
How John works
He also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, family and parenting strain, addictive behaviors, grief, and career stress. John uses emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based ideas to help people notice patterns and respond differently. This can involve learning new communication habits, emotion regulation skills, and simple daily practices.
With five years of experience as an LPC, he draws on real-world practice rather than theory alone. He emphasizes clear, doable techniques over jargon. The work is collaborative - the person sets goals and John helps map steps to reach them.
People who come for help often want concrete change: less overwhelm, better sleep, calmer reactions, or healthier relationships. John supports those goals with straightforward guidance, regular check-ins, and adjustments as needed. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The therapist provides empathy and acceptance so people can explore what matters most to them and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and behavior. It uses simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name emotions and improve emotional connection during relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and daily life, then suggest methods to try. That plan may include one approach or a mix, and it will be adjusted based on what the person finds helpful.
Online formats make attending therapy more flexible. Video calls let people meet face to face from different places. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth than video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, follow-up notes, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
