About Chad

Chad Johnson brings a collaborative, person-centered approach to therapy, blending client-focused listening with practical strategies he has used across 19 years of clinical work.

Background and approach

He is trained as a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist (LCMFT) and a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and uses those lenses to help clients make sense of patterns in relationships, emotion, and daily functioning.

Chad works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and a broad range of life transitions and interpersonal challenges.

He also addresses intimacy-related concerns, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, along with more specific family and relational topics such as blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, and family of origin dynamics.

Drawing on methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and solution-focused techniques, he supports clients in identifying goals, rewriting unhelpful narratives, and building practical skills for day-to-day living. Chad practices in Missouri and offers sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care



Chad integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into an online practice to provide both empathetic listening and structured tools. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, understanding space where the client’s perspective guides the work and helps clarify personal values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical methods for identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to explore preferences, symptoms, and life circumstances, and then tailors techniques from these models to fit the client's goals. Together they track progress and adjust methods over time to make therapy more effective and personally meaningful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular care from Missouri without commuting, and they allow clients to use the formats that best support their daily routines and communication styles.
