About Jonathan

Jonathan Goelz is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through addictions, and rebuild self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with depression, relationship concerns, grief, and parenting challenges.

Jonathan aims for simple, direct conversations. He listens first, then tailors the plan to each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and usable skills rather than only talk. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and patience in every interaction.

His approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections.

Jonathan also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and act toward them, and client-centered techniques to keep the conversation grounded in each person's experience. He adapts these methods to the situation at hand and the goals the client brings.

People who contact him can expect a collaborative tone. He helps set goals, practices skills in session, and adjusts plans as progress is made. Taking a first step can feel hard, and he aims to make that step feel understood and supported.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and direction feel muddled. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT works well for worry, low mood, and many day-to-day problems because it gives concrete skills to practice.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Jonathan treats therapy as a team effort and will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals, concerns, and style. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps or what needs changing.

The practical advantage of online therapy is fitting sessions into a busy life. Many people find it easier to keep appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. If you want to check which session options are available, confirm the current formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make brief check-ins, focused skill practice, or longer weekly sessions easier to arrange without changing your routine.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
