About Jon
Jon Bormann is a licensed clinician practicing in Illinois. He holds the LCPC credential, and he draws on seven years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and related concerns. He speaks English and works with adults who want practical support and clearer next steps.
He treats a wide range of issues including mood disorders, panic attacks, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD-related struggles. He also helps people manage life transitions, career questions, and relationship or intimacy-related challenges.
Background and approach
Eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and parenting stress are additional areas he addresses. Jon aims to create straightforward sessions where clients can name problems and try small, manageable changes. He emphasizes the client’s expertise in their own story and looks for strengths to build on.
Conversations are focused and goal-oriented so clients leave with concrete ideas to try between meetings. He has experience supporting people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and end-of-life or hospice challenges. First responder and veteran issues are also within his background.
When trauma or grief is present, he helps people move at a pace that feels doable and safe. Sessions are offered through several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Jon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping skills. One common approach is behavioral work, which looks at daily habits and routines and helps people change actions that worsen mood, sleep, or anxiety. This kind of work is useful for depression, panic attacks, and sleep or eating difficulties.Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which means moving at a persons pace and using strategies that reduce overwhelm. That approach helps people who have experienced abuse, disaster, or other traumatic events find ways to manage triggers and build stability. He also draws on techniques that help with grief and life transitions, focusing on meaningful steps forward rather than quick fixes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, try methods that match those needs, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients are involved in planning and deciding which techniques to keep using.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is good for visual connection and longer sessions. Phone can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth needs. Chat and text let people check in between appointments or send updates when a quick note is enough. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
