Evidence-based approaches and convenient online care

Jonathan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and social fears by breaking problems into manageable steps and teaching skills that can be applied between sessions.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help increase a person’s own motivation for change. This collaborative, goal-oriented style supports ambivalence and strengthens commitment to meaningful actions, making it useful for improving engagement with therapy and sustaining progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jonathan works together with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to ensure the work feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible options for connecting with a licensed professional. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to fit care into busy schedules, manage energy levels, and access support from their own environments.
