More about John
- 20 years' experience
- Male
- Psychologist
I am a licensed psychologist in Illinois with over 20 years of experience. My clinical focus is working with clients who report a wide range of concerns related to depression and anxiety; trauma and grief; relationship conflicts and concerns; alcohol and drug misuse; anger management; adult ADHD challenges; and job and career stress.
Both my therapy and coaching styles are person-centered, values-based, and solution-focused. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and unconditional positive regard. My multimodal approach to therapy combines focused acceptance and commitment (FACT), cognitive-behavioral, humanistic-existential, harm reduction, and self-help facilitation therapies. I tailor all therapy sessions and treatment plans to meet clients' unique and specific needs.
With solution-focused therapy, it takes openness, awareness, and committed action to increase psychological flexibility and to achieve a more fulfilling life. I look forward to working with you to support and facilitate such change efforts.
Respectfully, John Jones, Ph.D.

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.

Dr. Jones has helped to illuminate my path in life both by excavating my past experiences and pushing me to experiment with new exercises. I’ve learned so much, and I cannot recommend Dr. Jones highly enough for those out there trying to actively find their way.
