About Chris
Chris Johns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 27 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression using approaches he lists as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, and trauma-focused therapy.
Johns describes his work as practical and straightforward. He helps people identify goals, notice unhelpful patterns, and learn tools to manage strong emotions. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings and on understanding how past experiences shape present reactions.
He commonly addresses issues tied to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, body image, and challenges around commitment or codependency. He also notes experience with antisocial and avoidant personality patterns and with autism and Asperger Syndrome concerns.
His style emphasizes listening and responding to what each person brings. He uses cognitive behavioral methods to change thought and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to increase awareness and ease reactivity. Trauma-focused work addresses painful memories and their ongoing impact.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. The practice uses a subscription model for scheduling that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. It helps people clarify goals and decide what changes feel most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. It often includes exercises to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting over time.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. They also allow therapists to assign and review between-session practices like CBT worksheets or mindfulness exercises in a way that fits daily life.
