John Crusius, LPC

John Crusius is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience providing therapy and life coaching. He has worked with a wide and varied clientele, addressing concerns such as emotional and physical trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and ADHD. He also supports people who find themselves searching for deeper meaning or a clearer sense of direction after major life events.

Many clients come to therapy after a significant change - the death of a loved one, a divorce, the loss of employment, or other forms of trauma - and are motivated to uncover new purpose. Crusius draws on his own turning point, when he left a long career in restaurant management to pursue counseling, to relate to clients facing similar crossroads and to model the possibility of meaningful change.

His therapeutic style emphasizes attentive listening and individualized treatment. He adapts each treatment plan to the needs of the person in front of him, integrating approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered work, solution-focused strategies, reality therapy, and energy-based methods including Emotional Freedom Technique. He is a proponent of meditation and mindfulness and offers these practices when clients express interest.

Crusius frames the decision to seek help as an act of courage and openness and affirms that people are worthy of meaningful, lasting change. He welcomes the opportunity to support others through their challenges and transitions and aims to collaborate with clients toward practical, personally meaningful outcomes.
