My Approach to Helping

My name is Jonna Phelps, and I am a LCPC in Illinois. I have focused my attention on treating adults with anxiety and depression. I believe in learning coping skills and positive communication to deal with significant life events. The goal of treatment is validation through re-focusing on individual strengths in order to improve overall quality of life. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, coaching, and validation practices. I also incorporate mindfulness and deep breathing exercises in order to re-establish the importance of being present and at the moment today. I believe in setting realistic expectations for yourself and readjusting your plan for success. I believe in healthy boundaries and strong communication skills, which will help you to learn how to move with your mood rather than fighting against it. This practice helps to establish beautiful coping skills.

I have focused my attention on treating adults with anxiety, depression, and difficulty with life transitions. During each session, I like to discuss personal victories and daily obstacles. The goal is to refocus on strength in order to build confidence--to feel safe, secure, and grounded. I enjoy helping people find the answers to the questions they have. To guide and assist with setting realistic expectations and to learn how to be present at this moment for strength. It is wonderful to be a part of the journey of emotional acceptance and improved self-confidence.

I believe in setting realistic expectations for yourself and readjusting your plan for success. I believe in healthy boundaries and strong communication skills, which will help you to learn how to move with your mood rather than fighting against it. The first session should consist of identifying why they came to treatment now and identifying what does not feel good. I also like to discuss what is important to them as a person, refocusing on a strength.
