About Jon
Jon Collings is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people feel better. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and habits that fuel anxiety, depression, and stress. Jon practices from Missouri and brings 27 years of experience to his work.
Jon focuses on relationship struggles, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and intimacy-related issues. He also helps with trauma and abuse, codependency, and problems young adults often face.
How Jon works
Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep people stuck and to find realistic steps forward. In the therapy room he combines structured CBT with insights from psychodynamic therapy. That means clients work on current thinking and behavior while also looking at how past experiences shape present reactions.
Together they set clear goals and try practical strategies between sessions. Jon keeps language straightforward and concrete. He helps people practice new skills, test different thoughts, and notice what changes.
Progress is measured in small, manageable steps so improvements are easier to track. He has worked with a wide variety of issues over nearly three decades. That background informs how he tailors treatment plans to each person.
Jon aims to equip people with tools they can use long after therapy ends.

Approaches online: CBT and psychodynamic work
Jon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes that often help with anxiety, depression, stress, and parenting challenges. Psychodynamic Therapy helps people notice patterns that come from earlier experiences and how those patterns show up now in relationships and self-esteem struggles.Choosing the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will review your goals, concerns, and preferences and recommend whether to focus more on CBT skills, psychodynamic reflection, or a mix. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what you need most at the time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option with lower bandwidth, live chat works for shorter exchanges, and text messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work on goals between sessions.
