About Jonathan
Jonathan Collins is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with 14 years of experience. He offers a warm, interactive style and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief, identity concerns, and challenges tied to chronic illness or pain.
He has worked in college counseling, vocational settings, community mental health, inpatient residential treatment centers, and psychiatric hospitalization. That background includes leading psychoeducational and process groups and working with adults, young professionals, and college students. His experience spans common and complex concerns such as trauma, OCD, bipolar mood issues, and parenting strain.
Jonathan blends several approaches rather than using one single method. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and relationship work influenced by the Gottman Method. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational, with tools picked to match what the person needs.
In practice he focuses on clear goals and tailored plans. He aims to avoid stigmatizing labels and to treat people with respect and compassion. The work may include skill practice, values clarification, communication coaching, and exploring how past experiences affect current patterns.
Jonathan emphasizes collaboration when setting goals. He supports people who want better mood management, healthier relationships, clearer priorities, or help coping with chronic health concerns and other life changes.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can help with chronic health challenges, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and interpersonal skills and can be useful for intense mood swings, impulsive behavior, and relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they adapt methods and tools so the work fits the person’s situation and what they want to change.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and remove travel time for people juggling work, school, or medical needs. It also lets the therapist share worksheets, practice exercises, and communication coaching between sessions to support ongoing progress.
