About John
John Klenke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with five years of professional experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He also helps people facing relationship issues, parenting strains, addiction concerns, and anger that gets in the way of daily life.
His approach centers on clear talk and practical steps. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build trust. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce reactivity and increase focus in tense moments.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He helps clients name what they want to change, then tries out small behavioral experiments. That can mean practicing different responses when anger flares, mapping triggers, or rehearsing calm communication before a difficult conversation.
John has worked with people dealing with trauma, grief, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and issues that stem from family of origin. He also supports those facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and the challenges of aging. His work includes helping people navigate substance use and recovery-related change.
He offers straightforward guidance about next steps and what to expect in sessions. Prospective clients are asked to complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment to begin practical work on the problems that matter to them.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship. Online sessions using this approach prioritize clear, focused conversation so the therapist can understand what matters most and respond directly to it.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT often uses simple, concrete exercises such as tracking automatic thoughts, testing assumptions, and trying small behavior changes between meetings to reduce anxiety or manage anger.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity. Online work can include guided attention exercises, brief grounding practices, and learning to notice bodily signs of rising anger before it escalates.
Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. The therapist will review goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. That process is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Those practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they work on anger, stress, and related concerns.
