About John
John Klenke is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, person-centered care. He aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, motivation struggles, and parenting concerns. He writes and speaks plainly to make the first steps less daunting.
He uses a client-centered approach to build trust and guide conversations. That means sessions are shaped around what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and lift mood.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps when relationship patterns or intimacy issues cause strain. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help quiet racing thoughts and improve focus during stressful moments. John adapts these elements to each person's situation rather than following one fixed plan.
His experience includes five years working with people facing family conflict, addiction, grief, career strain, ADHD, and a range of emotional and relational challenges. He respects different life stories and cultural backgrounds while helping clients name what they want to change. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented.
People can expect clear discussion of simple strategies to try between meetings. John encourages small, steady steps so progress feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist respond to what matters most and shape goals around everyday life and parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change thought and behavior patterns. In an online session CBT work can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new responses, and setting small experiments to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. John will help clients choose and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. That process is collaborative - they review what helps, adjust tools, and set realistic steps so progress feels doable rather than rushed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around family routines, work hours, and travel.
