About John

John Klenke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who uses a straightforward, person-focused style in session. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people facing midlife questions, stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with self-esteem. John frames therapy as a practical partnership for people ready to make changes.

He draws on client-centered methods to make conversations feel personal and relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and express important feelings when relationships or intimacy are strained.

John has five years of professional experience as an LPC working with a range of concerns. He has supported people dealing with addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, career strain, and compassion fatigue. He also works on issues like ADHD, bipolar concerns, and attachment-related struggles when those come up in sessions.

His approach is practical and tailored. He talks with each person to make a treatment plan that fits their goals and daily life. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps people can try between meetings.

John also helps people navigate family of origin issues, blended family and divorce questions, communication and control problems, and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. He encourages honest talk about what matters most and supports people as they build clearer direction.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows each person's lead to build understanding and set goals. This approach can help people who feel stuck or unsure about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It helps people try out new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and problematic habits. Sessions often include practical exercises to practice between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will collaborate to pick methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining listening-focused conversations with CBT exercises or emotionally-focused work to address relationship concerns.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people meet from different locations when that helps them attend regularly. Therapists and licensed professionals will discuss what will work best for scheduling, session length, and practical needs during the first conversations.
