Dr. Johannes (Jean) Roux, LMFT

Dr. Johannes (Jean) Roux is a seasoned Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and behavioral health coach who brings more than 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families in both private practice and hospital settings. He offers personalized Tele-Psychotherapy and Behavioral Health Coaching that is culturally sensitive and inclusive, creating a compassionate, accepting, and non-judgmental environment that supports clients through grief, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, caregiving stress, addictions, and a wide range of life transitions.

Dr. Roux holds a PhD in Clinical Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine, a doctoral degree focused on the psychological aspects of health and illness, and he is credentialed as an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. His academic background also includes Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts degrees from the University San Francisco, completion of an Executive Leadership Program at Stanford University in Strategic Human Resources Management, and certifications in clinical and organizational psychology, executive coaching, HeartMath, and Caring Science Caritas coaching.

In clinical work he integrates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive-behavioral and narrative approaches alongside brief strategic and caring-science perspectives, tailoring interventions to each client’s goals and cultural context. He typically maintains private practice hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and checks messages once or twice per day during those days, responding as promptly as possible while balancing other professional responsibilities. Dr. Roux welcomes the opportunity to partner with clients seeking to enhance well-being, build coping skills, and navigate complex life challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Roux commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Narrative Therapy is another approach he applies to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can be useful for grief, identity concerns, and family issues. He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, achievable goals and build on existing strengths when clients are seeking quick, practical changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Roux collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He and other licensed professionals adapt techniques over time so work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Dr. Roux is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for those balancing work, caregiving, or health concerns. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access professional support from home or another convenient location.
