About Jonathan
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas.

Jonathan also helps parents who are struggling to understand or accept a child’s sexual orientation or gender identity by offering education and guidance.
In session he favors a natural, experience-driven style. He avoids clinical jargon and focuses on building a trusting relationship. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches are often combined with narrative and trauma-focused methods when useful.
Jonathan helps people talk through grief, addictive behaviors, intimacy concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles. He also supports those dealing with career questions, eating issues, bipolar symptoms, and young adult challenges. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to each person’s values and cultural context.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Jonathan commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. This approach centers the person’s experience and priorities, helping people feel heard and shaping goals around their values.He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new issues come up.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Different formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, for example by shortening a check-in, avoiding video when bandwidth is limited, or allowing sessions during a lunch break. Licensed professionals adapt methods like client-centered listening and CBT exercises to work across distance so people can build skills and reflect on changes between sessions.
