About Johnnie Ezell

I am a licensed Professional Counselor, licensed both in Arkansas and Missouri. I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, licensed in Arkansas. I am a Master Addiction Counselor certified on a national level. I have been working with Depression, Anxiety, Addiction issues for over forty years.

I work with individuals in a collaborative manner. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy to find what works best with each person. My responsibility is to encourage each person to self evaluate their values, beliefs and behaviors in an effort to help them find a path to a more enjoyable life. Each person is different and one size does not fit all.

To ask for help takes a great of courage. It is the greatest gift we can give another, is to ask for and receive help. I look forward to working with each person not only for the gift, but for the opportunity to learn a different view of life

“The help Johnnie is providing me is really assist me in managing a tough time in my life”

“A thoughtful soul who listens well. Very encouraging, and not afraid to bounce his own lived experience into the conversation.”

“Very responsive and caring therapist!”

“Mr. Johnny is a great therapist and I really enjoy our conversations and his input when I have need of assistance or when I am needing direction.”

“He is a great source of wisdom and derstanding and a lot of great humor too.”

“Mr. Ezell is a very empathetic counselor who holds space for his clients.”

“Johnnie listens and understands well. He helps me to see different perspectives.”

“I like John. He fits my style of conversation. He listens well and offers sufficient feedback. From day one, he offered information that was applicable to my situation.”

“Johnnie consistently brings a unique, down-to-earth perspective to our sessions that helps me see the bigger picture. I really appreciate how he challenges my assumptions in a non-confrontational way and prompts me to think in ways I hadn't before. With his guidance, I have come head-to-head with some truths about myself that I was previously repressing and/or avoiding for a significant part of my life, and I feel like I always walk away from our sessions with something valuable to think about and act on before the next. In the turbulent seas of life, my time spent with Johnnie is like a placid, tranquil lake, and when my sessions with him come to an end I will most certainly look back on them fondly.”

“John is a wonderful therapist with many years of experience and insight. He seems to take a very humanistic approach to counseling and treats me as an individual. He expresses empathy and compassion, and I feel heard and supported by him.”

“This man has been a blessing to my life. We have only talked a couple times, but his perspective and overall warmth is just so special. He is very qualified and he helps me feel more confident in my in day- to- day choices. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone.”
