About Jon
Jon Bormann is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois who focuses on practical, evidence-based help for anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and ADHD.

Bormann approaches sessions as a collaborative process. He listens to what matters most and helps set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Work often includes learning new ways to handle stress, routines to improve sleep and attention, and steps to manage mood swings or grief. He draws on seven years of counseling experience to guide conversations and suggest strategies that are simple to try between sessions. That experience includes helping people facing trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and major life changes.
He also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping concerns, career stress, and self-esteem challenges. Jon offers multiple ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day and to choose what feels most comfortable for each person.
He works with people who identify as LGBT and those navigating gender dysphoria, veteran and first responder issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. His style is straightforward and respectful, focused on practical steps that build on what each person already does well.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Jon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and routines. One common approach teaches practical coping skills for anxiety and stress such as breathing, scheduling, and breaking problems into smaller steps; these tools help with day-to-day overwhelm and panic symptoms. Another approach focuses on mood regulation and behavior change through activity planning, sleep and routine adjustments, and goal-setting; this is useful for depression, bipolar mood shifts, and low motivation.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will ask about symptoms, goals, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client's priorities and make adjustments as progress is tracked and needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not being on camera. Text and chat are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to pick the format that supports ongoing progress.
