About John
John Klenke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. He offers direct, respectful care and aims to customize conversations and plans to each person's situation. He presents as supportive and encourages people to take the first step toward change.
With five years of experience, Klenke draws on therapies that center the client's voice and choices. He uses client-centered methods to listen closely and build a working relationship. He also applies cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
He works with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, codependency, and coping with life changes. He also addresses issues like career stress, anger, and attention-related struggles. His practice includes attention to aging and family-of-origin matters when they affect current well-being.
Klenke aims to treat people with sensitivity and compassion. In sessions he tailors the pace and focus based on what the person brings and what they want to achieve. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort to build skills, set goals, and make practical changes.
The therapist invites those who are ready to explore change to take a first step. He emphasizes realistic, steady progress rather than quick fixes, and supports clients as they try new ways of coping and relating.
How these approaches guide online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. It emphasizes listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and working at a pace that feels safe and useful for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In practical terms it helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change reactions in relationships.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name core emotions and how those emotions shape interactions and attachment. It can be particularly helpful for addressing intimacy-related issues and stronger emotional patterns that show up in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. They will collaborate to choose which methods to use and adjust them as needs change.
Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and making scheduling simpler. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that feels better.
