About Johannes
Dr. Johannes (Jean) Roux offers therapy for people grappling with grief, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction concerns, caregiving burdens, life transitions, and a wide range of emotional and practical challenges.
Background and approach
He is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practising in California with two decades of clinical experience, and he blends psychotherapy and coaching to help clients move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping. His work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
He brings experience from independent practice and hospital settings, and emphasizes a compassionate, accepting, and culturally attentive stance. Sessions are offered via telehealth formats on specified days, and he typically checks messages during those practice hours while balancing other professional responsibilities.
Dr. Roux holds a PhD in Clinical Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine and completed graduate study and executive training relevant to clinical and organizational settings.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process that combines practical strategies with attention to personal stories, aiming to support clients as they navigate stress, career questions, family concerns, chronic illness, and life purpose issues.
How Cognitive and Narrative Approaches Work Online
Dr. Roux commonly brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and then practicing alternative skills and coping strategies; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems. Narrative Therapy centers on the stories people tell about their lives, helping to separate problems from a person’s identity and to reframe difficulties in ways that open new options for change.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He partners with clients to clarify goals and preferences, and then adapts methods so that practical techniques and narrative exploration fit each person’s needs. Over a series of sessions the therapist and client evaluate what works and adjust the plan together to keep progress focused and meaningful.
Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and use brief coaching or skill-practice between longer sessions when that suits a client’s routine.
