About John
Dr. John Jones is a licensed psychologist in Illinois with more than 20 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, and major life transitions.
He blends practical guidance with an emphasis on personal values so clients can make steady progress. He uses approaches that focus on present concerns and on what clients value most. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at building coping skills, reducing distress, and increasing psychological flexibility.
Background and approach
He also offers coaching-style conversations when people want goal-focused support alongside therapy. When addictions are involved, he offers assessments, psychoeducation, psychotherapy, and harm reduction strategies. He works with both substance use and process addictions, including gambling and pornography, and can help someone connect with support groups as part of a recovery plan.
Dr. Jones personalizes plans to match each person’s goals and life situation. He explains concepts clearly and helps people practice new skills between sessions.
He can also perform more in-depth psychological assessments when those are helpful. He combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral methods, client-centered listening, existential ideas, and clinical hypnotherapy to give a flexible set of options. Over years of practice he has focused on practical, step-by-step change rather than long lists of techniques.
He aims to help people feel more capable and move toward a life that matters to them.
How online approaches and proven methods come together
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when anxiety or cravings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can be useful for panic, mood disorders, and workplace stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and empathy so clients feel heard while they decide what changes to make.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and daily routines to choose which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people meet face to face when visual cues matter, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well on the go, and messaging or live chat can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support between full sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy life.
