About Jon

Jon Bormann is a licensed clinical professional counselor, LCPC, practicing in Illinois. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. He speaks English and has seven years of clinical experience.

Jon approaches work with clients as a partnership and meets people where they are in their day-to-day lives. He believes people carry strengths that help them move through hard times. In sessions he listens first, then helps clients identify small, practical steps to feel better.

Background and approach

He frames progress as steady and realistic, not sudden or all-or-nothing. Jon draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address challenges like panic, mood disorders, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also offers support around parenting, eating and sleeping concerns, career stress, and LGBT-related matters.

He pays attention to how health, caregiving, or life transitions shape coping and functioning. Therapy with him often includes learning new ways to handle overwhelming feelings, practicing communication skills, and trying out new routines at a manageable pace. He encourages clients to build on what already works for them while testing small changes between sessions.

Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows based on availability.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Jon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches ways to manage intense emotions and reduce anxiety symptoms through step-by-step practices. This helps people who struggle with panic, chronic worry, or mood swings learn tools they can use between sessions.

Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed strategies that help people process difficult experiences at a pace they can handle. This involves building safety, grounding skills, and gradual processing so memories and reactions become less overwhelming over time. These methods are appropriate for trauma, grief, and abuse-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is chosen together. The therapist evaluates needs, goals, and personal preferences and then recommends techniques to try. Clients and therapist adjust the plan as progress is made and challenges change.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules, avoid travel, and maintain continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals can work with clients in ways that suit their daily routines and comfort levels.
