I’ve been meeting with Jonna for about three years now. Over the course of this time she has made a huge impact in my personal and emotional growth - helping me work through my concerns and develop healthier coping mechanisms and communication strategies. She listens and works to understand which is something I’ve always appreciated. I would definitely recommend her services. Thank you, Jonna!

More about Jonna

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCPC

I graduated from Roosevelt University in Chicago with a M.A. in Clinical Psychology. I received my LCPC in 2001. I am also a Certified Care Manager with the National Academy of Care Managers.

I have focused my attention on treating adults with anxiety and depression. I believe in learning coping skills and positive communication to deal with significant life events. The goal of treatment is validation through re-focusing on individual strengths in order to improve overall quality of life. .

“Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.”

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Jonna has been so great. I've tried therapy in the past but had never made it past the first few sessions. With Jonna it was different. She's incredibly smart, easy to connect with, makes me feel like my struggles are normal, reminds me when things are not my fault, and also holds me accountable for the things I need to do to create a better life for myself. I've had some big breakthroughs with her that have been so insightful, and you know it made an impact when you think about it again many times after the session is over. I am very grateful for all she has taught me and could not recommend her enough.

I have tried therapy with BetterHelp before but never quite made it to the 3rd session. Jonna changed that for me. She actively listens to me, respects what I have to say, is able to always give me great advice that applies to the situation, and does a great job in how she gives me feedback that may be hard for me to hear. I genuinely feel like she's someone I can be honest with and someone who will support me through new obstacles.

I’ve been seeing Jonna for 6 months now, and I can’t say enough good things about her. I’ve still got a lot of work to do, but with her help, I’ve come a LONG way. I’m also a sensitive little butterfly and some therapists have been too much for me. In the past, therapy hasn’t been a pleasant experience. Jonna is patient and kind, but she also doesn’t stand for my bull crap excuses. She has supported me in some big life changes and I couldn’t be more grateful for her.

My experience with Jonna has been very beneficial. She has a very useful, structured approach. She uses worksheets that help me understand my life and helps her learn more about me. If we both start to speak, or she is speaking and I start to speak, she immediately stops speaking. She is a very good listener. She does all she can to help me. But she makes it clear that I need to do the work to help myself.
