About Johnthan
Johnthan Rivero Ramirez is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience. He helps people who feel stuck in relationship friction, parenting exhaustion, or the grief that comes with fertility challenges. He speaks both English and Spanish and practices in Texas.
He focuses on how individual struggles connect to the surrounding family or social system. Sessions often look at repeated patterns - what keeps people and relationships stuck. He uses practical tools from cognitive behavior work alongside narrative ideas that let people rewrite painful stories about themselves.
Background and approach
Johnthan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take meaningful steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about trust, closeness, and how early relationships shape current reactions. Client-centered listening keeps sessions grounded in each person’s concerns and pace.
His background centers on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, and ADHD-related concerns. He also works with issues around intimacy, kink and BDSM culture, blended families, caregiver strain, and divorce or separation. Practical change is a priority in his work.
He helps clients spot small shifts that improve daily life - clearer communication at home, steadier emotional responses, or better coping with life transitions. People leave with steps they can try between sessions and new ways to tell their story that reduce shame and blame.

Online session options
How different approaches shape online work
Johnthan often uses Narrative ideas to help people retell painful stories about themselves and their relationships, making space for new meanings and healthier patterns. Narrative work can be helpful for grief, family of origin issues, and identity questions. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT can support coping with anxiety, stress, and life changes. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to test methods and adjust based on what feels most useful. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to keep or change as therapy progresses. Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people choose a setting that reduces travel time. Discussing goals and practical needs up front helps shape a plan that fits daily life rather than forcing big schedule changes.Common questions about this listing
