About Jonathan

He began studying psychology in 2001 and has worked across agencies, colleges, and independent practice settings.

He aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can talk about what matters to them. Early in his career he completed graduate study at Albizu University and interned at Goodman Psychological Services Center in South Florida.
Background and approach
Those roles exposed him to many kinds of mental health concerns and everyday life problems. That experience helped him shape a practical way of working with adults and young adults. Jonathan uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match a person’s needs.
He draws from cognitive behavioral ideas, client-focused listening, and supportive therapy to build a plan that fits. Sessions tend to be straightforward and centered on small, usable steps people can try between meetings. He pays close attention to the relationship with each person and spends time building trust before moving into change work.
Jonathan also addresses cultural and diversity concerns when they affect someone's life and choices. People turn to him for help with stress, sleep and eating problems, panic and social anxiety, substance concerns, family problems, and career or young adult issues. He also supports those coping with grief, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
How therapeutic methods and online care work together
Jonathan draws on cognitive behavioral ideas that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Sessions often include simple exercises and homework to practice new skills between meetings.He also uses client-focused listening that prioritizes understanding a person's experience and values. This approach helps people feel heard and guides goal setting in ways that matter to them. Supportive therapy is part of his toolbox too, offering practical guidance and encouragement when coping with grief, addiction, or major life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed so it fits the person's life and aims.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or times when typing feels simpler than speaking. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, school, and family commitments.
