About Jon

Jon Weber is a licensed master social worker who uses a person-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and relationship or family concerns. He works from Michigan and brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions. Jon aims to create an atmosphere where people can speak openly and begin to build practical coping skills.

He has worked in residential inpatient treatment and independent practice settings, which shaped his approach to higher-intensity and everyday challenges.

Background and approach

Jon emphasizes collaboration: he and the client set clear goals together. He frames progress as a series of small, achievable steps rather than quick fixes. Clinically, he uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness-based techniques to teach emotional regulation and present-moment awareness.

He also draws on Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused methods to help people find motivation and identify workable strategies. These methods are chosen to fit each person’s needs and situation. In sessions Jon focuses on building coping skills that feel useful in daily life.

He listens with empathy and aims to pace work according to what feels manageable. He encourages people to take an active role in their own care. Practical matters are straightforward: he provides sessions in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Getting started involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Jon uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as part of his online work. DBT focuses on teaching concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is often used when strong emotions or difficult reactions get in the way of daily life. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore a person’s own reasons for change and to build motivation one step at a time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jon will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That decision is collaborative, with adjustments made over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, maintain momentum between meetings, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, set goals, and track progress over time.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
