About John

John Klenke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and motivation. He also works with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addiction, and grief.

John prefers straightforward conversations. He uses plain language to talk about what is happening and what small changes might make life easier. Sessions are aimed at practical steps you can try between meetings, and at making sense of patterns that keep repeating at home.

His background includes a mix of approaches that suit different situations. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build trust. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop measurable behavior changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when painful emotions affect relationships.

John also brings mindfulness and existential ideas when people are facing big life questions or need tools to manage intense feelings. He helps people clarify values, notice automatic responses, and choose actions that match their priorities. That often means short exercises, behavior experiments, and planning for real-world situations.

People considering work around family dynamics or parenting will find a focus on communication, boundaries, and coping strategies. He accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts sessions in English. To begin, users complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist respond to immediate concerns and adjust the pace based on what the client brings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking. CBT works well online because homework and skill practice can be reviewed between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and name painful emotions that affect relationships and communication, and it can be used to plan new ways of responding at home.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients often mix techniques from different approaches depending on what helps most.

The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during periods of change. Therapists help pick the format and pace that match practical needs like shorter check-ins or sessions scheduled around parenting and work responsibilities.
