Online session options
Approaches that guide online care
Jonathan brings Narrative Therapy ideas into online work by helping people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their struggles. This approach is useful when patterns, identity, or repeated painful themes shape how someone sees their life.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles.
Attachment-Based Therapy informs his work when relationship patterns and trust issues are central. That perspective helps identify how early connection styles influence current reactions and choices.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try practical techniques and check in about how they feel. You and the therapist adjust the plan together as therapy unfolds.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or health schedules.
