About John

Dr. John Jones is an Illinois psychologist with 20 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, and work issues. He also lists coaching, parenting concerns, and problems such as process addictions and workplace stress among his focus areas.

He uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central part of his approach, paired with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered conversation when useful. He also integrates hypnotherapy and existential ideas when they fit a client's goals.

Sessions typically include psychoeducation so clients understand what they are facing and why certain strategies are used. He emphasizes practical steps - behavior changes, values-based goals, and exercises to practice between meetings. When addictions are present he combines assessment, harm-reduction options, and psychotherapy to address both substance and process addictions.

Dr. Jones describes recovery work as including clinical assessments, support group options, and ongoing skills practice. He may discuss evidence-based recovery groups as part of a broader plan and helps people weigh those choices against their values and goals.

He has experience conducting more in-depth psychological assessments when they are needed to clarify problems or plan treatment. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats directly through the service flow described on the site.

How his approaches translate to online work

Dr. Jones blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit predictable online formats. CBT focuses on noticing thinking patterns and testing new behaviors through specific exercises; it often uses worksheets, behavioral experiments, and short between-session tasks. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and committing to value-driven action while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings.

Client-centered elements mean sessions include open conversation about what matters to the person. Together, therapist and client decide which approach or mix of methods best matches the client’s goals. This is a collaborative process where approaches are tried and adjusted based on what helps most.

Session-format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also supports using digital worksheets and homework between meetings so practice can happen in daily life.
