About John
John Crusius is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 12 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and issues like low self-esteem and ADHD. He also supports clients facing life changes such as grief, career shifts, and concerns around intimacy and relationships.
He combines a few practical methods in sessions, including client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. He emphasizes listening carefully and helping people notice patterns that get in the way of daily life. He encourages mindfulness and meditation when clients are open to those practices.
Crusius describes his work as adapting to what each person needs. He draws on solution-focused ideas and motivational interviewing to help set concrete goals and small steps. When substance use or addiction is part of the picture, he attends to those issues alongside emotional and behavioral concerns.
He often meets people who feel their life lacks meaning after a major event like grief, divorce, or job loss. He talks with them about values, daily routines, and practical choices that can bring back a sense of direction. Sessions can include coaching-style conversations as well as traditional counseling methods.
His background includes private practice and contract work where he has worked with diverse clients across many concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, readers are asked to use the platform matching steps to schedule a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their concerns and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns and includes concrete exercises between sessions.
Mindfulness practices involve simple attention and breathing exercises to help reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness. These techniques can support anxiety, stress, and sleep problems when a client wants to try them.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That discussion guides whether sessions lean more toward problem-solving, reflective conversation, or skill building.
Session logistics should fit into daily life. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on needs. These practical benefits help therapy fit around work, family, and other obligations.
