Everything Jonathan lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Jonathan's practice.
Approaches and what online work looks like
Jonathan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to change unhelpful patterns and build new skills. One common approach focuses on recognizing triggers and practicing alternative reactions to anger; it teaches concrete skills for calming down and responding differently in heated moments. Another approach centers on addressing addictive behaviors by identifying high-risk situations, building coping plans, and strengthening motivation to change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts strategies when something isn’t working, so clients remain part of the decision-making process.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, or other demands. Video calls allow for a face-to-face feel when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
