About Jonathan
Jonathan Collins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with 14 years of experience. He works with adults on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, addictions, grief, and career adjustments.
He has worked in college counseling, vocational settings, community mental health, inpatient residential treatment, and psychiatric hospitalization. He has also led psychoeducational and process groups, and his background includes work with LGBTQIA people, process addictions, and parenting challenges.
In session he uses a mix of practical approaches. Expect direct conversations that focus on everyday problems. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take action.
Dialectical behavior elements are used for emotional regulation and stress management. Client-centered ideas shape the way he listens and responds so the work stays focused on what matters to the person in front of him. Gottman Method skills inform his work on relationship communication and conflict.
He aims to match techniques to the client’s goals and situation rather than following a single method. Sessions typically involve skills practice, problem-solving, and planning next steps. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
ACT, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. It is often used for issues like anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress. It is practical and skill-based, useful for anger, depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving stress tolerance. Those techniques can be helpful when frustration or reactivity gets in the way of relationships or daily functioning.
Jonathan treats choosing an approach as a collaborative step. He will talk with the client about goals, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means methods can shift over time as issues evolve.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to attend regular sessions, fit therapy around work or family schedules, and check in briefly during a busy week. It also allows practice of skills in everyday settings and quicker follow-up between sessions when needed.
