About Jonathan
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 39 years of clinical experience. Jonathan "Jon" Briery helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, family tensions, and depression. He sees these concerns plainly and focuses on practical ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Jon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. He invites clients to talk through thoughts and feelings and to try concrete skills between meetings. Sessions aim to identify patterns that increase pain or isolation and to replace them with clearer options and manageable steps.
His background includes long-term work with people facing substance and process addictions, mood disorders, panic attacks, and loneliness. He also has experience with blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and relationship communication problems. This range shapes a practical approach rather than a single theory.
In sessions Jon focuses on direct conversation, skill practice, and problem-solving. Clients can expect straightforward feedback and tasks to try outside sessions. The emphasis is on small changes that add up to better day-to-day coping.
Jon works in English and is based in Texas. He does not accept international clients. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching process and schedule an initial meeting to discuss goals and next steps.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Many of the approaches he uses focus on clear techniques you can practice. One common approach is skill-based work that teaches strategies for managing anxiety and mood. This involves learning breathing and grounding exercises, restructuring unhelpful thoughts, and building step-by-step plans to face fears or reduce avoidance.Another helpful approach is relapse-prevention style work for addictions and process behaviors. This focuses on recognizing triggers, creating coping plans, and rehearsing responses to urges so people can reduce harmful patterns over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
