Jonathan Seay, LCSW

Jonathan Seay is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee who brings five years of clinical experience to his counseling practice. He works with people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and a range of intimacy-related concerns. Jonathan also supports clients navigating LGBT and gender-related issues, as well as those exploring non-traditional relationship structures such as polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, and kink.

He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings honestly and begin to make meaningful changes. Jonathan encourages clients to take the first step toward therapy and acknowledges the courage that decision often requires. He is licensed to practice in Tennessee, Massachusetts, and Arizona and frames his work around practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients meet their goals.

Jonathan tailors his approach to each person, addressing topics from communication and intimacy to coping after trauma or life disruption. His practice accepts a range of concerns and life experiences, and he emphasizes collaboration, respect, and steady support throughout treatment.

Evidence-Informed Techniques for Online Support

Jonathan uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that translate well to online work. One approach focuses on practical coping and skills training to reduce stress and manage anxiety - this involves learning specific tools for grounding, emotion regulation, and problem solving that can be practiced between sessions. Another strand of his work centers on trauma-informed interventions that help people process difficult experiences and rebuild a stronger sense of safety and stability. A third area emphasizes relationship and communication work, helping partners and individuals improve intimacy, set boundaries, and navigate non-traditional relationship structures.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jonathan works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and the methods that feel most helpful, adjusting techniques as progress is made and needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people - it makes scheduling more flexible, reduces travel time, and allows therapy to fit into busy lives. Jonathan provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different comfort levels and access needs, helping clients maintain continuity of care from a setting that works for them.
