About Jonathan
Jonathan Nelson III is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 12 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strains, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, sleep and eating problems, and work or career challenges. He writes plainly about the difficulty of asking for help and invites people to take a first practical step toward change.
He understands how common it is to hide pain or keep going on autopilot. In sessions he encourages people to notice what they are avoiding and to make concrete decisions about what to change. He frames that decision as the first action toward lasting shifts in behavior and mood.
Jonathan draws on several practical approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered Therapy. He also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques when they fit a person's goals. These methods are used to address things like addiction, anger, commitment issues, and problems with communication.
His background includes clinical administration, supervision, mentoring, and direct psychotherapy in nonprofit settings, correctional facilities, private practice, and work with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. That mix gives him experience with both short-term coaching-style work and longer-term therapeutic concerns.
People who reach out can expect direct, practical conversations about what’s getting in the way of change. He focuses on clear steps, active coping strategies, and improving daily functioning rather than abstract theory.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions using ACT can support decisions about relationships, addiction recovery, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or depression and practicing new behaviors. It is useful for sleep and eating issues, anger, and managing stress through concrete exercises. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and pacing; online conversations follow the client’s lead and explore what matters most to them.Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to the problem, goals, and personal preferences. That may mean using brief solution-focused steps at first, then shifting to ACT or CBT techniques as needed. The plan is reviewed and adjusted together as progress or new challenges emerge.
Session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoid travel time. Online work can make it easier to use practical tools between meetings and carry new skills into everyday life.
