About Chris
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 strain, grief, depression, or the effects of trauma. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about what’s hard right now.
Johns explains problems in plain terms and works with each person to set clear, reachable goals. Sessions often center on learning practical tools to reduce anxious thoughts, handle conflict, and manage grief day to day. He draws on approaches that emphasize the person’s own strengths and choices.
He also addresses issues that often sit under the surface, such as attachment concerns, codependency, body image worries, and the stress of caregiving. His experience includes work with people facing chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, and aging-related challenges.
When trauma is part of the story, Johns uses trauma-focused methods alongside mindfulness and cognitive tools to help people process painful memories and build coping skills. He keeps language straightforward and focuses on steps people can take between sessions.
Clients can expect a collaborative style where the therapist listens first, then helps design a plan that fits daily life. Johns accepts international clients and sees people who prefer therapy in English.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s needs and goals first. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients set priorities for change and healing. This approach supports people who need more space to talk things through and to decide what steps feel right.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It uses simple exercises and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle relationship problems. CBT often includes homework you can try between sessions to practice new skills.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which approaches fit their symptoms, goals, and daily life. That collaborative decision can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy days. Since the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to keep appointments during travel, take a shorter check-in between errands, or avoid long commutes. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach coping skills, guide trauma-focused processing, and coach clients in mindfulness and cognitive techniques over remote sessions.
