About Jonna

Jonna Phelps, LCPC, draws on two decades of clinical experience to offer a supportive, skill-focused approach to mental health care.

Background and approach

She practices primarily from client-centered and cognitive behavioral perspectives, helping people build coping skills, improve communication, and reframe unhelpful patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related concerns. Her work emphasizes identifying strengths and practical strategies to improve daily functioning and emotional well-being.

With 20 years of experience in Illinois, she blends emotion-focused insight with solution-oriented techniques to address a broad range of challenges including grief, relationship and family issues, parenting stresses, bipolar mood concerns, and career-related difficulties.

Additional areas of focus include caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, end-of-life counseling, isolation and loneliness, obsessive-compulsive concerns, seasonal mood changes, and life purpose or midlife transitions. Jonna aims to validate each person’s experience while partnering to set concrete goals and measurable steps toward a better quality of life.

Therapeutic Methods Online: Practical, Emotionally Aware Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship, helping clients explore their experiences and identify personal strengths that support change. This approach is especially useful when someone seeks validation and a respectful space to sort through life transitions and emotional concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often with homework-like practices to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address attention or mood-related difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) adds depth by helping people understand and reorganize emotional responses in relationships and toward themselves, which can be helpful for grief, relational strain, and attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative: the therapist works together with each client to consider goals, preferences, and the issues at hand to tailor methods and pace. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is most helpful for progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow for continuity of care around work and family schedules, easier follow-up between appointments, and a range of ways to engage depending on comfort and practical needs.
