About Jonathan
Jonathan Marsh is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He brings seven years of clinical experience and a direct, approachable style to sessions. He focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more in control.
He often helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. He also supports those facing relationship questions, self-esteem and motivation struggles, sleep problems, anger, and challenges around intimacy.
Background and approach
Jonathan has a particular focus on LGBT and multicultural concerns, and he is comfortable discussing topics like attachment and abandonment. Jonathan describes a conversational and collaborative approach. He aims to build an atmosphere where people can speak openly and without judgment.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and workable strategies rather than abstract theory. He also addresses addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and life transitions. Additional areas Jonathan works with include ADHD, panic attacks, personality concerns, and issues related to body image, kink and alternative sex culture, and grief connected to serious illness.
People can expect a mix of problem-solving, coping skills, and attention to how thoughts and patterns affect daily life. Jonathan tailors each plan to the person in front of him and adjusts tools as progress is made.
How Jonathan Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Jonathan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach he draws on helps people identify troubling thoughts and test them against daily life to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method teaches concrete skills for noticing and shifting thought patterns so symptoms become easier to manage.Another approach he uses looks at behavior and routines to improve sleep, handle impulses, and reduce stressful reactions. It breaks problems into small steps and builds habits that support steady improvement. These practical techniques are useful for anxiety, panic, mood swings, and addiction-related urges.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Jonathan works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and situation. He revises the plan as needs change and checks in often to see what is or isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video is useful when a deeper conversation is needed, phone works well for a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different schedules.
