About Jonathan

Jonathan Collins is an LPC practicing in Texas with 14 years of professional experience. He offers a warm, interactive style and aims to create a respectful space for people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

He draws on a mix of approaches so sessions focus on what helps each person most. Conversations are practical and direct, and he works with people on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Codependency is one of the areas he addresses among other relational and attachment issues.

Jonathan has worked in college counseling, vocational counseling, community mental health, inpatient residential treatment centers, and psychiatric hospitalization. He has also led psychoeducational and process groups, which informs how he structures skill-building and group-style learning in individual sessions.

His work includes support for ADHD, addictions, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting questions, and life transitions. He emphasizes collaboration, tailoring the conversation and plan to a person's goals and day-to-day reality.

People meet him for short-term problem solving or longer work on patterns that keep returning. He frames progress in terms of clearer choices, better coping skills, and more satisfying relationships, rather than labels or fixed outcomes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so people can practice concrete changes and reduce symptoms such as anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means starting with what feels most useful and adjusting as progress is made.

Confirm current online session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits better. It also supports using homework, worksheets, and skill practice between meetings, so therapeutic learning can continue outside session time.
