About John
John Crusius is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, and issues around relationships and codependency.
He often sees people after a major life change - a breakup, a death, a job loss, or another disruptive event. He also works with those who feel empty or without direction and who are searching for meaning or purpose. Sessions address practical problems like sleeping, parenting strain, work stress, and substance use alongside emotional concerns such as shame, guilt, and anger.
His style is grounded in listening carefully and adapting the approach to what a person actually needs. He uses client-centered methods to follow a person's priorities and cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and habits. Motivational interviewing can help when someone needs momentum to change, and mindfulness practices are offered when people want tools to manage intense feelings.
John combines those methods with solution-focused and existential ideas to help people clarify values and make concrete changes. He also draws on experience working as a life coach and in contract settings with diverse clients. He encourages meditation and simple mindfulness exercises for those who find them useful.
If someone is unsure where to begin, he asks about current struggles and goals, then makes a straightforward plan with steps to try. To start, readers are asked to use the site matching process to schedule an initial session and see which session format is available.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions use that same stance to help someone name priorities and practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going; online work can include tracking habits, practicing new responses, and reviewing short exercises between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches breathing and attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep; these skills are easy to practice between meetings and then discussed during sessions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk about goals and try methods that fit a person's situation. If an approach doesn't seem helpful, adjustments are made together rather than sticking to a single model. The focus stays on clear, achievable steps that match what the person wants to change.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule short check-ins or longer weekly sessions. It also supports using exercises and mindfulness practices in day-to-day routines so therapeutic work connects directly to everyday challenges.
