About
John Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience. He brings a distinctive experiential perspective to grief and loss counseling, shaped by being widowed in his late thirties. That life event became a long-term catalyst for his decision to return to graduate school in his early fifties and enter the counseling profession, with a clear commitment to supporting others through difficult seasons of change and bereavement.
In addition to grief work, John specializes in substance use counseling and the ripple effects addiction can have on individuals and the people who care about them. His work in this area draws on Twelve Step principles alongside cognitive behavioral strategies, helping clients make sense of patterns, strengthen motivation, and build practical skills for day-to-day life.
John also supports clients navigating anxiety and depression, tailoring care with a range of approaches to match each person’s needs. His focus is on helping clients move through distress with greater clarity and steadiness while working toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Evidence-Informed Tools for Online Support
John Walker draws from approaches that balance understanding with practical skill-building. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, respectful space where clients can talk openly, clarify what matters most, and move at a pace that fits their needs - especially helpful when navigating grief, stress, or major life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. It can help clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new responses that support steadier moods and reduced anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when feelings are intense or when communication and coping feel difficult.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. John works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and current challenges, then adjusts the pace and tools to fit what is most helpful over time.
Online therapy also makes it easier to access support consistently. Sessions can take place through video calls or by phone, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility between scheduled appointments.
