About John
Dr. John Jones is an Illinois licensed psychologist with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, ADHD, anger, relationship and family concerns, grief, and career difficulties. His practice also addresses workplace issues and process addictions such as gambling or pornography.
He uses a person-centered, values-based style that focuses on practical steps and skills. Sessions often include psychoeducation so clients understand what they are working on. Dr. Jones blends approaches to suit each person's situation rather than relying on a single technique.
For addiction work he combines clinical assessment, psychotherapy, harm reduction strategies, and support group options when appropriate. He helps people manage cravings, reduce risky behaviors, and build routines that support recovery. This includes attention to both substance use and process addictions.
When anger is the concern, he looks at the situations that trigger strong reactions and the patterns that keep them going. Clients learn ways to notice early signs, shift unhelpful thoughts, and try alternative responses that are more aligned with their values.
He also offers coaching-style work for career or life-purpose questions, using structured exercises to clarify goals and take concrete steps. Dr. Jones may recommend longer psychological assessment when a deeper evaluation is needed.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients choose an online pathway, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session to get started.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Therapists often combine skill practice, short behavioral experiments between sessions, and paced check-ins to help people manage anger, cravings, or workplace stress while keeping therapy compatible with everyday life.
