Who this practice helps

John provides individual therapy for adults and teens, and he also works with children ages 7–12, working closely with parents, often around disruptive mood dysregulation and parent training.

Anxiety. Counseling can help with worry, tension, or panic that takes up more energy than it should, and with practicing more useful ways of responding.

Depression and other mood concerns. Therapy can help with persistent sadness, low energy, loss of interest, or mood swings, including major depression and bipolar spectrum conditions.

Emotional regulation and personality-related concerns. Individual therapy can address intense emotions, overcontrol, perfectionism, and personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder.

John also works with people who have OCD, ADHD, or grief. This practice offers individual therapy and counseling only. It does not provide couples or marriage therapy. If you also want support for a relationship, John can help you find a couples counselor while you continue individual work.

Therapy approaches: CBT, DBT, and RO-DBT

Therapy here is skills-based and practical. John chooses among well-studied approaches based on your goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) maps the loop between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. Sessions often focus on one or two patterns at a time, then on trying a different response during the week. It is frequently a starting point for anxiety and depression. When obsessive-compulsive symptoms are part of the picture, treatment may include ERP, a form of CBT that practices staying with a feared thought or situation without the usual ritual.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-based approach for people whose emotions run high. Work typically covers mindfulness, getting through a hard moment without making it worse, steadying mood, and handling relationships more clearly.

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) is designed for the other end of the spectrum: people who cope by tightening control, staying polished, or keeping others at a distance. The work aims at more flexibility and more genuine connection.

Weekly DBT and RO-DBT skills classes are also available.

John also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters to you. He holds an ACT training credential from ACBS. These approaches give you tools to practice between sessions, not a promise of a particular outcome. For a closer look at how the practice describes each method, see the therapist in The Woodlands, TX page.

What to expect in a first session

The first sessions focus on what brings you in and what you hope will be different. Together you will talk about a plan that may draw on CBT, DBT, RO-DBT, ACT, or a combination. You do not need to prepare a speech; a few recent examples and any questions about counseling or insurance are enough.

If you are coming to the office, call or text when you arrive, then wait in the downstairs waiting area. The restroom is also downstairs.

A free 30-minute consult

If you are not sure whether this is the right counselor for you, start with a complimentary 30-minute consultation. It is a chance to describe what is going on, ask about approach and logistics, and get a sense of fit, with no obligation to schedule an intake. Intake forms are not required.

To schedule, use the contact page or call (713) 955-5925. If John does not answer, leave a message; he does his best to return calls by the end of the day.
