Jon Barnes , LPC

Jon Barnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and relationship challenges. He earned a bachelor’s degree in human services from Wayland Baptist University in 2004 and completed a Master of Arts in counseling at the same school in 2009, training that supports his work with a range of issues including attention deficit disorder, grief, family conflict, and sleep or eating concerns.

His approach centers on the person-client relationship, drawing from client-centered principles to create a respectful, empathetic environment where people can explore change and growth. He integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns and uses motivational interviewing and short-focused brief therapy to support practical steps toward recovery. He has also worked with individuals affected by emotional, physical, and psychological abuse, tailoring interventions to the needs of each person.

Jon frames treatment as a collaborative process, adapting methods such as Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-informed strategies into individualized care plans. His practice emphasizes clear boundaries for each session and a consistent, attentive listening stance to help clients pursue meaningful, sustainable change.
