Jon Barnes, LPC

Jon Barnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical work. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship strains. Parents worried about sleep, eating, or parenting issues will find straightforward support. He also addresses trauma, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Jon keeps sessions practical and person-focused. He starts by listening to what matters most and then builds simple, workable steps. Clients do skills practice between meetings and talk through real situations that come up in daily life. He adapts his approach so each plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

His work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-based ideas. He also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior strategies when they suit the situation. That mix lets him address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and relationship habits in plain language.

Jon earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Services and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Wayland Baptist University. He has experience helping people with substance concerns, family conflict, trauma related to abuse, and attention challenges. He aims to make therapy a practical routine that fits into everyday life.

Sessions are focused on clear goals and small changes that add up. Jon works collaboratively with each person to set priorities and track progress over time.

Online approaches that fit your life

Jon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that improve mood and daily functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many stress-related problems.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify personal values and learn simple acceptance and mindfulness skills. ACT can be helpful for managing difficult emotions, chronic worry, and urges linked to addiction or avoidance. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and communication, helping people notice how early bonds shape present reactions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. He works collaboratively with each person to pick approaches that match goals, preferences, and life demands, and he adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit practical needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when scheduling a work break. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking homework, or getting support between longer sessions. These options aim to make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and usable in everyday life.
