He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with nine years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and low self-esteem. He also supports those facing life transitions, motivation difficulties, and emotional overwhelm.
How Jonathan works
Jonathan emphasizes a person-centered, strengths-based approach. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. He listens closely, reflects what he hears, and works with clients to build practical coping skills and emotional regulation strategies.
In a typical session he will help you identify immediate steps to reduce distress. He focuses on skills you can practice between appointments to build resilience over time. Communication and clear expectations guide the work together.
People come to him for help with attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Many of the approaches Jonathan uses focus on clear skills and practical exercises you can practice between sessions. For example, cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try simpler, more helpful ways of thinking and acting. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation challenges.He also emphasizes person-centered and strengths-based work, which centers what matters to the individual. That means sessions include active listening, supportive reflection, and setting small, achievable goals based on personal values and day-to-day needs. This approach helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes, and building resilience.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jonathan will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which techniques to use. He adjusts the plan as needs change and checks in about how the work feels and what is helpful.
