More about Jon
- 10 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and Ohio with 10 years of experience. I have worked with clients on a wide array of fronts including depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol abuse, family dynamics, relationship issues, OCD, and attention deficit disorder. I have also treated people with trauma as it relates to emotional, physical, and psychological abuse.
Education: I received a bachelor's degree in human services in 2004 from Wayland Baptist University. I acquired a Master of Arts degree in counseling in 2009 also from WBU.
I use a person-centered approach in my therapy style. I believe we all come to a point where life beckons some kind of change, or adjustment. My top priority is to provide a safe, and secure listening environment that shapes the boundaries of each and every appointment.
My treatment modalities involve motivational interviewing, short-focused brief therapy, Cognitive Behavior-Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. I am flexible and will tailor my counseling approaches into a collaborative care plan to treat your individual needs.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jon is very patient and a great listener!
Jon is empathetic and understanding. He does a very good job of listening to what I am saying and offering different ways to think through the issues. I would recommend Jon to anyone looking for a Christian Counselor.
Jon has been a really helpful person to talk to because he gives good insight into how we can better understand ourselves and also really takes the time to listen and provide us good support.
So far Jon has been great at listening to me, asking thought provoking questions that help me learn about myself and find solutions to problems. He’s been great at encouraging and empowering me, I leave our sessions with clarity, a sense of being uplifted in spirits, and ready for whats ahead rather than anxious.
