About Jonathan

Jonathan Collins, LPC, uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people improve sleep and rest alongside other life concerns. He keeps sessions warm and interactive and works to build skills that can make nights easier and days more manageable. Jonathan meets people where they are and aims for straightforward strategies rather than jargon.

With 14 years of experience across college counseling, vocational services, community mental health, residential treatment, and psychiatric hospital settings, he has seen many sleep and daytime problems tied to stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. That background shapes how he frames sleep issues alongside mood, attention, and relationship concerns.

His work blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered methods. In practice that means focusing on values, building concrete behavior strategies, teaching emotion regulation skills, and listening without judgment. Jonathan adapts tools to fit each person’s routine and goals.

He has led psychoeducational and process groups and has experience with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, addictions, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related problems. He also helps with parenting stress, career strain, and major life changes that can disrupt sleep.

Jonathan emphasizes collaboration when creating a plan. He will tailor conversations and recommend techniques that fit daily life. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.

Online approaches that fit your daily routine

Jonathan often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and build small habits that reflect those values, which can reduce worry at night. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, including bedtime routines and sleep-related thinking that keep someone awake. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jonathan will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, daily schedule, and preferences. He treats the plan as a collaboration and adjusts techniques based on what works in real life. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking so they meet your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, try brief check-ins when schedules are tight, or focus on skill practice between meetings. Talk with him about how to structure sessions so they line up with your typical day and help you build better sleep and rest habits.
