About John

John Klenke is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, substance issues, and other life challenges. John also helps with self-esteem, motivation, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns.

John uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most pressing for each person. He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered approaches and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people name emotions and shift unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on the feelings and interactions that keep problems active, and on small, practical changes clients can try between meetings.

He also brings mindfulness and existential ideas into work when clients want tools for awareness or for examining meaning and values. That can look like short mindfulness practices, thought records, or talking through decisions and priorities. These techniques are chosen to fit what a person says they need right now.

John describes his role as listening carefully, offering clear observations, and helping people build coping skills. He supports clients working through addiction, ADHD, career strain, compassion fatigue, and a range of personality and attachment issues. International clients who speak English may arrange sessions with him.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How EFT and related approaches are used in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the interaction patterns that keep people stuck. It can help when strong feelings or repeated conflict make it hard to move forward. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and creating a respectful therapeutic relationship so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that reinforce distress and offers practical exercises to change them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful. That collaborative process helps match techniques such as EFT, CBT, or mindfulness to the individual’s needs and preferences.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people work with licensed professionals from different locations, which can be helpful for those managing relocation or international schedules.
