Background and approach
Additional attention is given to codependency and issues common to young adults. His work blends structured, skill-based techniques with a longer view of how past patterns influence current behavior. That combination helps people change unhelpful thinking and understand where old patterns came from.
Sessions aim to build useful skills and clearer self-understanding. Jon trained in social work and holds a Master of Social Work degree. He has spent decades seeing people with a wide range of concerns and ages.
He brings that broad experience to each conversation and adapts methods to fit individual needs. Clients can expect straightforward goals and practical steps between sessions. The focus is on small, steady changes that make daily life easier.
Jon practices in Missouri and conducts therapy in English.
How CBT and Psychodynamic Work Online
Jon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical tools such as identifying negative thinking, testing beliefs, and building new coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.He also incorporates psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and experiences shape present patterns. That work helps people understand recurring relationship and intimacy problems and where certain reactions come from.
Finding the right mix is a team effort. The therapist and client discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what fits the person's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that aims for clear, achievable steps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on skill practice and insight work.
