About John

Dr. John Jones is an Illinois psychologist (IL Psychologist 071002712) with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, ADHD, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, and job- or career-related difficulties.

He uses a person-centered, values-based, and solution-focused style in therapy and coaching. Sessions include psychoeducation, practical tools, and steps clients can try between meetings. He also performs more in-depth psychological assessments when needed.

Addiction work is a major focus. He addresses alcohol and drug issues as well as process addictions such as gambling, pornography, and problematic internet or exercise use. His approach to recovery includes clinical assessment, psychotherapy, harm reduction, and connections to recovery groups when appropriate.

Therapeutic methods he draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and hypnotherapy. He blends these methods to match what a client wants to do and the goals they set together.

Sessions emphasize practical change: clarifying values, building specific coping skills, and developing steps for better daily functioning. The tone is direct and focused on measurable progress over time.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small action steps that align with those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems that recur despite efforts to avoid them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, then trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning. CBT is commonly used for panic, mood disorders, and workplace or performance-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative task. The therapist works with each client to match methods to the client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That means trying techniques, checking how they work, and adjusting the plan based on what the client finds useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins that fit between other commitments. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy during life changes where in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals discuss which session rhythm and format will best support a client’s goals.
