About John
John Klenke is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem, depression, motivation, and related issues including addiction and grief. He helps people who are coping with life changes and relationship or intimacy concerns.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person's goals. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when emotions and present-moment awareness are central to the work. Sessions focus on clear skills, concrete steps, and real-life practice rather than abstract theory.
In a typical session he talks through current problems, points out patterns that keep problems going, and helps set small, achievable goals. Homework or practice between sessions is offered when it supports progress. He emphasizes practical strategies for managing anxiety, rebuilding confidence, and handling family conflict or parenting stress.
People seeking help for addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, or grief can expect direct conversations about coping tools and behavior change. He also addresses issues linked to family of origin, communication problems, codependency, and commitment or control struggles.
John works in a straightforward, goal-focused way. He invites clients to test different approaches and keeps sessions focused on what will make daily life more manageable. International clients may be accommodated, and sessions are conducted in English.
How his approaches translate to online work
John commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT offers concrete exercises and practice tasks that fit well into short online check-ins or weekly sessions. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the session by focusing on the client's priorities and pacing, letting the conversation guide which skills to try next.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when intense feelings or relationship patterns are central. EFT-style attention to emotional responses can be adapted to online sessions by tracking interactions and trying new ways of responding during or between meetings. The therapist will discuss these approaches with the client and pick or combine methods based on the person's goals and preferences, so the choice is collaborative rather than fixed.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and support regular practice between meetings. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to keep therapy focused on daily improvements and concrete skills.
