About Jonathan
Jonathan Goelz is an LCSW with ten years of professional experience, licensed in New York (NY LCSW) and California (CA LCSW). He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, grief, and codependency concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and Jonathan also accepts international clients.
He focuses on practical, moment-to-moment conversation. He listens to what is causing strain and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. He uses clear strategies to address problems such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, and feeling lost in relationships. Expect straightforward discussion and measurable steps you can try between meetings.
Jonathan draws from several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He mixes tools from these methods to match each person’s concerns and goals. That might mean learning skills to manage strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, or practicing ways to set limits with others.
He tailors the conversation and treatment plan to the person in front of him. Sessions often include skill practice, goal setting, and reviewing what changed from week to week. He frames progress in concrete terms rather than vague promises.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Jonathan uses evidence-based methods in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior. It helps when codependent habits come from trying to avoid uncomfortable emotions and teaches direction based on values rather than short-term relief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for spotting and changing unhelpful beliefs that keep someone saying yes when they mean no, or feeling responsible for others’ moods.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. That can include short behavior experiments and communication techniques to practice between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
The original profile does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to help people apply skills in real life and carry practice over between appointments.
