John Collins , LCSW

John Collins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with people to address both the symptoms and deeper causes of struggles such as anxiety, trauma and PTSD, depression, difficulty managing anger, substance use disorders, and relational problems that can arise from low self-confidence and limited communication skills.

He combines a personal, empathetic style with a range of therapeutic interventions designed to strengthen coping skills and promote lasting change. His work is rooted in a psychodynamic approach that supports both shorter-term symptom relief and longer-term psychotherapy aimed at deeper, more stable improvements. When appropriate, he is certified to provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address trauma-related concerns.

Collins earned a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2010 and also holds degrees in philosophy, theology, and consciousness studies. He has lived and worked in California, Illinois, and Indiana, and currently resides in Louisiana.

Could Virtual Therapy Fit Your Needs?

Many people ask whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the primary strengths of online work is flexibility - clients can connect in whichever format feels most comfortable, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care during life changes.

Licensed professionals deliver online therapy, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people, virtual therapy offers a practical, effective way to access skilled therapists while balancing daily responsibilities.
