He has 15 years of clinical experience and has provided care in local agencies, colleges, and private practice across Florida.

Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as talking through difficult emotions. His background includes an internship at Goodman Psychological Services Center, an outpatient clinic serving the South Florida community. That work exposed him to a broad range of needs across ages and situations. He draws on those experiences when helping people facing life changes and stressors. Jonathan often focuses on substance use and drug and alcohol concerns alongside mood and anxiety issues. He also addresses family problems, multicultural concerns, panic attacks, and smoking or vaping cessation. Young adults and people navigating career or relationship transitions are part of his practice focus. People can expect a straightforward style that blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and supportive therapy. The aim is to create a plan that fits each person’s goals and day-to-day life.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Jonathan blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-focused and supportive methods. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and help people try concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, panic, and addictions. Client-focused work centers on listening and building rapport so a person feels respected and understood. Supportive therapy provides practical guidance and stabilization during times of crisis or change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. This is a joint process that balances skill-building with emotional support.
