About Jon
Jon Barnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. He also addresses addictions, relationship concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and burnout.
Jon works with adults facing major life changes and the fallout from trauma and abuse. He takes a person-centered approach, meeting each person where they are and listening first. Jon aims to build a steady, respectful space for clients to talk through what matters most.
Background and approach
Appointments are shaped around the individual's needs and goals rather than a fixed script. Clinically he draws on several methods to suit different problems. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and ACT ideas to clarify values and action.
Attachment-based work and elements of dialectical behavior therapy help with emotion regulation and relationship patterns. Jon’s background includes a Bachelor of Science in Human Services and a Master of Arts in Counseling, both from Wayland Baptist University. He has a decade of experience supporting people through addiction, family issues, and trauma-related concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online in formats that match different schedules. Jon collaborates with each person to set goals, choose strategies, and track progress over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jon often blends cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking practical steps toward them while learning to live with difficult feelings.He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. That work can help when communication problems, trust issues, or abandonment concerns are getting in the way. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Jon will talk with each person about goals, try things out, and adjust methods based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, homework prompts, or ongoing support between sessions. These options let people pick formats that match their schedule and comfort while still working toward real change.
