Practitioner record · Checked 6 Nov 2026
Jon Anitsakis has been in practice 14 years and is licensed in Texas. Jon lists stress, Anxiety, family conflicts and trauma and abuse among 18 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Jon's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Jon works with
Jon lists 5 specialisms and 13 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Jon chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Jon's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through some of life's most challenging experiences. My work focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, and the complex emotions that arise from trauma, family conflict, and relationship difficulties.
I specialize in working with concerns around self-esteem, communication, social anxiety, attachment patterns, and grief-including the pain of divorce and separation. I also support clients exploring forgiveness, control issues, mood challenges, abandonment wounds, impulsivity, body image, sexuality, and posttraumatic stress.
My approach is grounded in genuine connection and respect for who you are. I believe in meeting clients where they are, without judgment, and creating space for authentic dialogue about what matters most to you. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you build insight, strengthen your sense of self, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.
I'm committed to honoring diverse perspectives and values, and I work collaboratively with each person to understand their unique story and goals. Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your journey toward greater self-compassion and healing.

03 · What happens next
Jon practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Jon's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Jon at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Jon is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Jon.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Jon actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Jon's - Jon has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Jon's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 6 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Jon. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
