About Johannes
Dr. Johannes (Jean) Roux greets people with a calm, straightforward presence.
Background and approach
He helps adults facing grief, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and life changes. Sessions are aimed at practical steps people can use between meetings to feel steadier and more in control.
He has practiced for 20 years and holds a PhD and a California LMFT license. Jean blends short-term, goal-focused work with approaches that look at the stories people tell about their lives.
He also draws on coaching techniques when clients want help setting and reaching life or career goals. In sessions he uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior.
Narrative Therapy helps people reframe painful experiences and separate themselves from problem narratives. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, workable changes that add up over time.
Jean offers phone conversations, video calls, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick the format that fits their day. He speaks English and Afrikaans and practices in California.
His work often supports those dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, career transitions, and identity issues including LGBT matters. He aims for an accepting, nonjudgmental space where practical skills and personal meaning are both part of the work.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Dr. Roux uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into clear steps you can practice between sessions.Narrative Therapy is also part of his work and focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. It helps when past events or labels feel stuck by opening space to reframe what those events mean and to reclaim agency.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical changes that build momentum. Those quick wins can help with coping during life transitions, caregiving challenges, or recovery from addiction.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and life demands to choose methods that fit. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so work stays relevant to real life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick questions, brief coaching, and ongoing guidance between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
