More about Jon

Would you like to change how you feel? Do you know that your thoughts about yourself and your life determine what you're feeling and the choices you make. Let's use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to change your thoughts and change your life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of Missouri with over 22 years of experience as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients of every age and diagnosis, but most of my experience is in the areas of relational issues, depression, anxiety, parenting difficulties, and life changes. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Baylor University and my Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Tennessee. I've been married for 30 years, and I have four children ranging in ages from 13-22.

As mentioned above, my main therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). However, I also employ Insight-Oriented Therapy as well. This just means that we will work on discovering what your thoughts are about yourself and your life, and then work on changing them so that your emotions and behavior change as well. We will develop your treatment goals suited to your specific needs and desires. My belief is that counseling will empower you to accomplish your therapeutic goals and that you will acquire a new set of skills that you'll be able to use the rest of your life.

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.

I have been meeting with Jon since 2020 and he has truly been exceptional and inspired me to look at therapy, life, and my development in a much healthier and autonomous manner. From intense sessions where I bring issues to the table, to just easy conversation about new things I’m learning about myself, he is truly always there for me and selfless to boot. He’s the best therapist or coach I’ve had so far!

I was a bit skeptical about how online therapy could work. After my first meeting with Jon Collins, I was convinced both my therapist match and the means of therapy was quite successful. After our initial meeting, I was full of hope about having ideas of how to move in the direction I wanted to go to get out of some relationship snags. Jon listened to me and therefore understood what I was saying and gave great feedback. I’m really happy I made the decision to try BetterHelp .

My significant other, encouraged me to use this app after the many times I expressed to her I’ve always wanted to speak to a counselor. I was timid at first but when I was paired with Jon, from the first video session I was put at ease. Now a few months later I’ve learned so much and am able to impart some of what I’ve learned with others around me. When talking to my significant other and her experience with her counselor on the app, it took her a few tries to find a good fit whereas I found a good fit with Jon on my first try. His approach to issues I face is great and it’s good to get to the core of some the issues. I’m forever grateful to have been matched with Jon and I hope others can get the same benefits with him that I’ve experienced through our sessions.

Reviewed Oct 2020

Working with Jon has been a great learning experience. He has taught me a lot about the thoughts I have about myself, other people, and what I can do to begin to understand things that are true and important. Jon gives me practical ways to apply his help that include journaling, practice, and being mindful of certain thoughts. All of these tools help my anxiety directly and allow me to progress better than I have in past therapy experiences.
