More about Jonathan
- 11 years' experience
- Male
- LMFT
I have been a therapist in the state of California with about 11 years of experience. I have experience and history in working with clients who struggle with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression, and more! I have worked in various spectrums of therapeutic settings, ranging from psychiatric hospitals, private practice, as well as county crisis clinics. I like to inform clients of that history to reassure them that I can handle whatever they are struggling with, and that my most important thing as your therapist is making you feel seen, safe, heard, and like you are making progress. I go into therapy with the mindset of a team effort. I have an eclectic style of therapy that I like to work around and create for each client I am working with. I also like to add some sarcasm and humor, because whats struggle without some laughter? I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I also want to take a moment and say how much courage it takes to reach out for help, especially in a therapeutic setting. I hope to be able to help you accomplish the various goals you may have.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
