How Jon works

He blends methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attachment-based work depending on the situation.
That mix is used to reduce symptoms, improve communication, and strengthen coping tools. Jon has a background in human services and completed a Master of Arts in counseling in 2009. He draws on ten years of experience supporting people with addiction, trauma, mood disorders, and complex life transitions.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them through practice and real-life experiments, which often reduces symptoms like worry and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current behavior, helping with trust, communication, and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That process makes room for learning what works best for the person's life and circumstances.
Online sessions offer flexibility and many practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when schedules or distance make in-person visits hard. Phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging works well for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options help therapy fit into work, school, caregiving, or travel commitments while keeping focus on skill practice and progress tracking.
