Larry Johns
Hello, my name is Larry and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, an Ordained Minister, and a retired Marine. I take a holistic approach to therapy.

Hello, my name is Larry and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, an Ordained Minister, and a retired Marine.
Communicating without words is a powerful healing process.
First session
In the first initial assessment the session 14-60 minutes. During this process we will identify the presenting problem and access how you have tried to work on or fix it in the past. Rapport is established to see if we are a good fit for one another. I want to provide the best therapeutic services possible.
Strengths
My approach although is strength-based, I am empathetic and compassionate. Although I believe for every problem we face in life, there's an answer, and that answer is found in God, through His Word. I also understand that everyone may not share my belief, so don't worry, I won't shove my belief system on you. I value every client who comes into my space and therefore I do not take it lightly or for granted. Whether you came in for healing, direction, guidance, or just to process your thoughts, I'm here for you. In the space and time, we have together I won't waste your time. Many clients have told me that they appreciate my straight forwardness and how I challenge them to be the best version of themselves. It is my transparency authenticity, and empowerment that I bring to the table.

Those struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, job loss, life transition, trauma, couples experiencing relationship distress, individuals dealing with faith issues, spiritual issues, family stressors, career changes, attachment issues, men's issues, need mentorship, mental health professionals, first responders and Veterans.
Treatment methods
Christian Counseling
As a Christian minister and a retired Marine, I help clients process their lives as they face the challenges of anxiety, depression, spiritual, personal, professional, and relationship issues through Christian Counseling and lived experiences. I've been in the ministry since 1995. I've been married since 1989.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I help clients who struggle with overwhelming thoughts, fear, and anxiety through cognitive behavior therapy by using cognitive restructuring. If your mind is racing all over the place, and your negative thoughts is disrupting your daily life with friends and family, I take time to help the client find the root or the source of the problem and together we have reconstructed their thoughts that may lead to maladaptive behaviors.
Couples Counseling
I work with couples who are dating, engaged, or married. If you want to see where you and your partner are in the relationship, I can help by using the online assessment called Prepare and Enrich. The assessment identifies strength areas and areas where growth is needed. I also help clients to strengthen an already strong and healthy relationship.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I empower clients to find solutions to problems already identified. 10-12 sessions.
Faith-based therapy
Through Bibical Counseling I help clients through the Word of God find hope and healing through the Word of God.
