Jon has been an outstanding therapist for me for the last year or so. I first saw Jon for anxiety and he has helped me tremendously. Jon has guided me to view my thoughts and feelings in a different light. I strongly recommend Jon Kauffman.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and we all need help from time to time. Sometimes the help we need is just an ear to hear all the things we need to say, but have no one to whom we can say it. Sometimes we need someone who is outside our context to give us an objective perspective on our circumstances. Sometimes, what we really need is someone to call us on the nonsense we have been telling ourselves.
Hi, My name is Jon and I am here to fill all those roles and more (if you need it.) I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oregon and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). In the last ten years, I have provided counseling in a variety of contexts from community clinics to college to jails. I am kind and compassionate and do not shy away from saying what needs to be said to help you achieve your goals. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, mindfulness and solution focused strategies to assist you in working through whatever challenges you are facing. Through it all, I rely on you to be the expert on your own life and see my role as a sort of consultant offering suggestions to help you get where you want to be.
I have worked with people of all ages and stages of life and I have worked with individuals and couples. I have worked with people experiencing depression, anxiety, career challenges, trauma, body image issues, low self-esteem, grief/loss, parenting and guilt/shame issues. As a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, I am also familiar with the military context and the variety of traumas that can result from service.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Excellent to work with
Jon has been real and effective in helping me understand my emotions. He is Also a a zing with tactics to cope.
Jon is so easy to talk to, listens, and provides such insight. He has helped me begin to surface and understand myself better. I appreciate him so much
Jon is a highly skilled therapist who is also genuine and kind. I am a therapist myself, and it has been hard to find someone who will challenge me and also hold a space safe enough to be vulnerable in. Our sessions are always helpful.
Very good counselor
Jon has been my therapist for almost a year now and has been able to work with me to reach my full potential and call me out when I’m giving myself negative self talk. I look forward to seeing what the future holds as I’m about to be married in 8 months. And growing more with Jon’s help
I so value my time with Jon. He is kind while also being firm and holding me to truths. I appreciate his opinions and perspective.
