About John
John Crusius is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings 12 years of clinical experience to his work. He integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered principles to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, ADHD, and a wide range of life stressors.
Background and approach
John also supports clients facing grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career transitions, and issues related to self-esteem and identity. His practice emphasizes collaborative care and individualized treatment planning; he draws from solution-focused strategies, mindfulness practices, existential perspectives, and motivational interviewing to shape therapy around each person’s goals.
John has experience addressing additional concerns such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, codependency, substance use, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue. He encourages meditation and mindfulness when appropriate and tailors interventions to match a client’s interests and readiness for change.
Having moved from a previous career into counseling, John values meaningful work and supports clients who are seeking purpose after major life events. He accepts English-speaking and international clients and offers multiple remote session formats to increase accessibility for those pursuing therapeutic change.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
John frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns, while client-centered therapy creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients' goals and perspectives shape the pace and content of sessions.He also integrates elements of existential and mindfulness-informed work to explore meaning, values, and present-moment awareness when those topics emerge. The choice of approaches is collaborative; the therapist partners with each person to determine which combination best matches their needs, goals, and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible for people with busy or changing routines. These options allow continuity of care across locations and time zones and let clients choose the communication style that helps them engage most comfortably with therapy.
