About Jonathon
Jonathon Yassanye is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, self-esteem, LGBT issues, and coping with life changes. Sessions are designed to be straightforward and focused on practical skills and clearer thinking.
Jonathon uses a mix of approaches drawn from client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential thinking, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas. He aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, learn new coping skills, and make choices that fit their values. Therapy typically includes discussion, skill teaching, and reflection on past and present concerns.
His training includes internships and clinical roles in community health settings where he practiced CBT, anger management, and brief psychodynamic work. He has also worked with programs focused on Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders and provided psychotherapy to caregivers dealing with stress and burden.
Jonathon has experience administering common screening and assessment tools used in older adult care and caregiver support. He completed additional training in caregiver education and in a model called Deconstructing Anxiety through one-on-one supervision. These experiences inform how he structures sessions and supports people facing complex, overlapping concerns.
People who come to him can expect clear explanations of methods, concrete skill practice, and collaborative planning. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site's steps to match and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How Jonathon uses common therapy approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. It helps people clarify what matters to them and guides decisions about next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors link to mood and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety and depression. Existential therapy addresses questions of meaning, choice, and purpose and can help people facing life changes or deep uncertainty.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jonathon will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process may involve trying different strategies and adjusting them based on what helps most.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. They also let clients use mindfulness practices and CBT exercises between meetings. Ask about formats and scheduling when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to match everyday routines and practical needs.
