About Jon

Jon Barnes is an LPC with a decade of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, grief, and depression.

Background and approach

He brings a practical, person-centered orientation that emphasizes collaboration and individualized care, drawing on a range of evidence-informed methods to address trauma, family dynamics, attention-related concerns, and mood difficulties. He frames therapy as a partnership that adapts to each person’s goals and life context.

Jon blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-oriented and attachment-focused ideas to help clients change unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and strengthen relationships. His background includes work with substance use, parenting and fatherhood concerns, hoarding, and complex co-occurring issues such as personality and attachment challenges.

Jon earned a bachelor’s degree in human services and a master’s degree in counseling from Wayland Baptist University, and he practices in Texas. As a licensed professional counselor he aims to create a respectful, empathetic space where practical strategies and thoughtful exploration come together to address both immediate coping needs and longer-term growth.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Jon often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many stress-related concerns. He also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes values, mindfulness, and learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them, a helpful fit for ongoing stress, grief, and chronic emotional pain.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relationship patterns, early caregiving experiences, or attachment wounds are central to presenting issues; this work focuses on rebuilding trust, improving communication, and understanding relational responses. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will discuss options, consider the client’s goals and preferences, and adapt methods over time so the treatment plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel. These formats allow regular check-ins, skills practice between sessions, and easier access from different locations, making it simpler to maintain momentum and integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
