Getting to know Chris James Cognetta

Professional Statement I’m Chris-James Cognetta, MS, MS, LPC-S, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Supervisor based in Dallas, TX and Florida. With over 15 years of experience in mental health counseling and clinical supervision, I specialize in helping adults navigate challenges related to anxiety, relationships, self-worth, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in existential and person-centered therapy, which means I focus on understanding how you see the world and supporting you in making choices that bring meaning, purpose, and balance. I believe the foundation of successful therapy is a strong, trusting relationship, and I work to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore, heal, and grow. As a Supervisor (LPC-S), I am also committed to mentoring future counselors, ensuring the next generation of professionals are equipped with the skills and compassion to serve clients effectively. Whether you’re struggling with stress, identity questions, or simply seeking greater clarity and direction, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you build the life you want.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When you work with me, you can expect a direct and solution-focused approach. I believe in being clear, honest, and practical, while also creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard. My goal is not just to listen, but to help you identify patterns, set goals, and take steps toward meaningful change. I value your time and will work with you to focus on what matters most—whether that’s reducing stress, improving relationships, or navigating life transitions. Together, we’ll look at challenges realistically and create strategies you can apply outside of our sessions.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I start by getting to know you—your story, your goals, and the challenges you’re facing. In our first sessions, we’ll clarify what brought you to therapy and identify the outcomes you’d like to see. From there, I take a direct, solution-focused approach that combines support with practical strategies you can use right away. Sessions are collaborative. I’ll listen closely, ask pointed questions, and challenge you when needed, while also offering tools and perspectives to help you move forward. We’ll regularly check in on progress to make sure our work stays focused on what matters most to you. My goal is to help you not only gain insight, but also put that insight into action so you can experience lasting change.
