About Jonathan
Jonathan Collins is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience working with adults in Texas. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach
He has also led psychoeducational and process groups. Jonathan uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method when relationship work is involved.
Sessions focus on finding useful skills and clearer values, not jargon or labels. His style is warm and interactive. He listens, asks clear questions, and works with clients to build a plan that fits their life.
Jonathan emphasizes practical tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and handling big life changes. People who come to him often want help with coping skills, improving communication, or moving past a loss or setback. He supports exploration of identity, motivation, and healthier habits so clients can take steady steps toward their goals.
Approach-driven therapy online
Jonathan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and building small actions toward those values, which can help with anxiety, life transitions, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical strategies to manage symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems.Choosing a method is often collaborative. Jonathan will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which approach or combination of approaches feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for in-depth sessions and observing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, coaching prompts, or support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stay connected over time.
