Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Jonathan uses client-centered therapy to provide empathic listening and unconditional positive regard, helping clients feel heard and supported as they explore their own goals and values. This approach is well suited to people seeking understanding and a non-directive space to process emotions.He also employs cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, addictive behaviours, and stress-related problems.
Solution-focused therapy is another tool in his practice, concentrating on strengths, resources, and small achievable steps that move clients toward their preferred future. It is especially useful for people who want goal-oriented work and clear progress markers.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jonathan works with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from different locations.
