About Jonathan
Jonathan Collins is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 14 years of experience. He works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, addictions, grief, and challenges common in early adulthood.
He has worked in college counseling, vocational counseling, community mental health, inpatient residential treatment centers, and psychiatric hospitalization. He has led both psychoeducational and process groups, bringing experience from multiple clinical settings to session work.
Jonathan offers individual, couples, and family therapy and often focuses on young professionals and college students navigating life transitions. He also addresses parenting concerns, work-life balance, sexual issues, process addictions, OCD, trauma, and motivation or self-confidence struggles.
His approach draws from several evidence-informed methods. Jonathan blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and relationship work such as the Gottman Method, selecting tools to fit each person's needs.
Sessions include direct conversation, skills practice, and psychoeducation. He aims to reduce symptoms while building practical strategies for everyday life - for example managing anxiety before a job interview or coping with feeling behind after college. The focus is on clear goals and usable steps, not labels.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Jonathan commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking action that matters, while teaching ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. CBT targets unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches concrete skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.He also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and responding to each person's experience. That approach supports building trust and clarifying goals while other skills-based methods are introduced. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing meetings during breaks or between classes or shifts. Different approaches lend themselves to different session activities - for example shorter check-ins, in-depth skills practice, or guided reflection - and those choices will be made together based on what works for the client's life and goals.
