About Jonathan

Jonathan Goelz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of professional experience. He is licensed in New York and California and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges like ADHD and career stress.

He focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions aim to identify what is getting in the way day to day and to develop skills that can be used between meetings. He uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based practices to help people manage strong feelings and difficult choices.

Jonathan blends client-centered methods with attachment-informed thinking to look at how past relationships affect present patterns. He also draws on dialectical behavior ideas when emotions feel overwhelming and regulation skills are needed. That variety lets him shift tactics if something isn’t working.

Clients can expect a direct, respectful approach that breaks problems into manageable pieces. Jonathan helps people set realistic goals, try small behavior changes, and check what works. He pays attention to practical life pressures like work, parenting, and finances while addressing emotional patterns.

He accepts clients from outside the U.S. and conducts sessions in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm the session formats currently offered. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

BHow sessions work

How Jonathan uses core approaches in online sessions

Jonathan often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values and small actions that point toward the life someone wants, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation problems.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice alternative behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with avoidance or procrastination.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan treats the choice of method as collaborative. He will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most for day-to-day functioning and emotional relief.

Confirm the session formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy week, keeping appointments on a break from work, or reducing travel time. Online meetings can allow short check-ins, regular weekly sessions, or skills-focused visits that match a client's schedule and practical needs.
