John Crusius

John Crusius is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with 12 years of clinical and coaching experience. He has worked in both private practice and contract roles, supporting a diverse range of clients facing issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, relationship and family conflicts, grief and intimacy-related difficulties, sleeping and parenting challenges, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Clients seek John’s help for common mental health concerns as well as for guidance when life feels empty or without direction. He often works with individuals prompted by significant events - for example the death of a loved one, divorce, job loss, or traumatic experiences - who are searching for renewed purpose. At age 48 he left a lucrative but unfulfilling career in restaurant management to pursue counseling and service to others.

John’s approach has evolved through years of listening and learning from those he serves. He emphasizes mindful listening and tailors treatment plans to each person’s needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral methods, client-centered principles, solution-focused techniques, reality therapy, and energy methods such as the Emotional Freedom Technique. He is a proponent of meditation and mindfulness and will encourage those practices when a client expresses interest.

He holds a Texas license as a Licensed Professional Counselor, license number 62197, and combines his training with lived experience to help people make meaningful, lasting change. John welcomes the courage it takes to reach out and looks forward to assisting individuals on their healing journey.
