About Johnthan

Johnthan Rivero Ramirez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting burnout, trauma, or grief. He greets clients with direct, practical work aimed at easing day-to-day strain and restoring more effective ways of relating.

Background and approach

He offers sessions in English and Spanish to match different needs and preferences. With 20 years of experience, he focuses on how individual struggles tie into wider relationship patterns.

He pays attention to the ways family dynamics, attachment habits, and personal parts influence how people respond to conflict, parenting, and intimacy challenges. That view shapes how he plans sessions and sets goals with clients.

His work draws from Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral strategies. He blends talking, reflection, and practical exercises so people can try new ways of communicating and coping between sessions.

Clients can expect straightforward support around parenting stress, ADHD-related concerns, blended family issues, fertility and fatherhood questions, and intimacy or kink-related matters. He also helps with career strain, compassion fatigue, anger, and forgiveness work.

In sessions he aims to identify repetitive patterns that keep people stuck and to develop concrete steps for change. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability via the Start Therapy button.

Approaches that translate to online work

Internal Family Systems helps people notice and dialogue with the different parts inside them, like anxious, protective, or wounded parts. It can help with internal conflicts that affect relationships and parenting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and actions so people learn to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful change. That approach often helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape expectations and reactions in relationships, and it can guide work on intimacy, communication, and family patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often mix listening, reflective questions, and practical experiments that people can try between meetings to test what helps.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let them meet with a licensed professional without extra travel. The focus is on making sessions usable in everyday life and on choosing tools that match a client's routine and comfort.
