Jonathan Cottrell, LCSW, CSW

Jonathan Cottrell is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and ADHD. He works with adults who are dealing with relationship struggles, mood concerns, and the push-pull of life changes. Jonathan aims to make therapy practical and straightforward so people can start seeing change in day-to-day life.

He uses simple, evidence-informed methods to address emotional and behavioral challenges. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments, and skills people can use between meetings. He pays attention to how mood, thinking, and behavior interact, and he helps clients spot patterns that keep problems going.

Jonathan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to help with relationship dynamics and Solution-Focused Therapy when clients want short-term, goal-directed work. These approaches are mixed to fit each person’s situation.

In practice he emphasizes collaboration and steady progress. People leave sessions with concrete next steps, whether that means communication strategies, steps to reduce addictive behavior, or techniques to manage anxiety. He brings nine years of clinical experience to his work in Colorado as an LCSW and CSW.

Jonathan works in English and does not take international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site’s Start Therapy flow.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and changing problematic habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and impulsive behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jonathan will work with each person to identify pressing goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those priorities. If something isn’t helping, he adjusts the plan so the work stays focused and useful.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing work during life transitions and when people need steady, regular sessions to manage stress, addiction patterns, or mood challenges.
