About Jon
Jon Barnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship strains, sleep and eating problems, and the stress of life changes. Clients can expect straightforward talk and a calm, steady presence in sessions.
He uses a person-centered style that puts the client's goals first and shapes each meeting around what the person needs that week.
Background and approach
Jon aims to make sessions practical and focused on small, manageable steps. His work draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. He also uses attachment-informed perspectives to understand how early relationships affect current patterns.
Dialectical skills and emotion-focused tools are brought in when emotions feel overwhelming. Jon trained in human services and earned a Master of Arts in counseling from Wayland Baptist University. He has treated people coping with trauma related to emotional and physical abuse, and has worked with clients facing substance use and attention challenges.
Therapy sessions are adapted to the person rather than forcing a single method. Jon focuses on listening first, then builds a collaborative plan that may include short-term strategies and longer-term skills practice. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice hard thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns like avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles, which can help with anger, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and communication, helping people understand relationship difficulties and emotional triggers.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you can adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful, mixing short-term tools and longer-term skill building.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video works well for full sessions and visual connection. Phone is useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, coping check-ins, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, travel, or a busy home life.
