About
Jonna Phelps, LCPC, is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who has been providing therapy services for 20 years. She earned an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University in Chicago and has been licensed as an LCPC since 2001. In addition, she is a Certified Care Manager through the National Academy of Care Managers, a credential that reflects specialized training in coordinating and supporting care needs, often for individuals and families navigating complex life circumstances.
Her work has focused on supporting adults dealing with anxiety and depression, especially when symptoms intensify during major transitions and stressful life events. She emphasizes practical coping skills and constructive communication as tools clients can use in everyday life, with attention to what is happening now and what can be strengthened moving forward. Therapy with Jonna is oriented toward validation and perspective, helping clients re-focus on personal strengths in order to support day-to-day functioning and improve overall quality of life.
She holds the view that growth often begins by turning toward difficult questions, and she aims to offer a steady, supportive space for that process. As one writer captured it, “Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.” - Shannon L. Alder.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits real life
Jonna Phelps, LCPC, draws from several evidence-informed approaches to support adults navigating anxiety, depression, and stressful life transitions. In Client-Centered Therapy, sessions focus on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore what they are feeling and clarify what they want to change, at a pace that feels manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practice more workable ways of thinking and responding, which can be especially useful when stress or worry starts to take over daily life. Mindfulness Therapy adds practical skills for paying attention to the present moment with less self-criticism, helping clients relate differently to strong emotions and everyday pressures.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jonna collaborates with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful in the past, then adjusts the work to match what they need most right now.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or times when getting to an office feels like one more stressor.
