About Jonathan
He frames sessions around practical skills and clear goals. Jonathan blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and solution-focused work. That means sessions often include learning new coping strategies, testing small changes, and practicing ways to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Jonathan keeps sessions collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort. He uses teaching moments when useful and prefers a non-confrontational way of challenging patterns that get in the way. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual's needs and adjusted as progress is made.
He has three years of counseling experience and works with issues tied to family life, parenting stress, career transitions, anger, trauma and abuse, communication problems, and questions about life purpose. He also addresses obsessive-compulsive concerns, dissociation, control issues, and self-esteem struggles.
People who choose Jonathan can expect practical tools, a focus on problem solving, and help making decisions that fit their values and goals. He invites clients to move at a realistic pace while exploring change and growth together.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Jonathan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and try different responses; CBT focuses on practical exercises and changing behaviors that reinforce worry or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; these skills can help when strong feelings or conflicts make daily life harder.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which strategies to try and how to measure progress.
