More about Jonathan

I am licensed in Florida with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
I see counseling as both an honor and a privilege for the opportunity to share space with a client and begin an exploration. The goal is to discover inner strengths to empower for healing and life prosperity. These strengths are value-based and drive one through any barriers the client may encounter. This journey with my clients is made in a safe and non-judgmental environment where we can work through these difficult issues and reach their personal goals.
My clinical method is a multi-modality approach, consisting primarily of: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Within these models, I integrate positive psychology, where we focus on hope, encouragement, and gratitude, along with mindfulness. My clients will find that I incorporate a team approach on this journey, where we celebrate victories along this therapeutic path together. My experiences in counseling derive from working with anxiety, depression, PTSD/CPTSD/trauma, grief, and relational conflicts.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I earned my master’s in counseling from Liberty University and my Master’s in Divinity from Andrews University. I am currently obtaining my Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology, concentrating on attachment and trauma treatment with Neurofeedback.
Before obtaining my counseling degree, I worked as a pastor for over 17 years, which gave him the experience of working closely with individuals and families from all walks of life. I have been trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) and am a certified clinical trauma specialist CCTS-1.
I served in the Army and have experience with veterans and their spouses. My greatest passion is my family, and I love to spend time with my three adult children and wife of 27 years.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
