About John
John Crusius, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 12 years of experience. He works with people on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting concerns, career questions, and related challenges. He describes his approach as client-centered and draws on cognitive behavioral methods, existential thinking, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused tools.
John frames therapy as practical talk and focused work. He listens mindfully and adjusts methods to the person in front of him. He often helps people who are coping with a major life change or searching for more meaning after loss, job change, divorce, or other turning points. He also supports those dealing with substance use, anger, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.
His practice includes coaching-style support when someone wants clear steps and goals. He uses meditation and mindfulness techniques when clients show interest. He may mix short-term, goal-focused techniques with deeper conversations about values and purpose.
John reports learning from a wide range of client experiences over the years. He mentions using solution-focused and motivational interviewing strategies to build momentum and address motivation for change. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
He describes his work as collaborative. He asks questions, proposes experiments, and helps people try different ways of coping. The emphasis is on concrete skills, clearer direction, and reducing symptoms that interfere with daily life.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and works to build clear goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies thought and behavior patterns and uses practical experiments and homework to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review the client's needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. Sessions can shift over time if a different method fits better or if goals change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use audio-only meetings if bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing techniques to virtual work so clients can practice skills between sessions.
