About Jonathan
Jonathan Goelz is a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and addictions. He focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. He aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Jonathan uses short, clear conversations to pinpoint what's getting in the way. He helps people build skills for managing mood, improving self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. He blends evidence-informed tools with a warm, client-centered way of talking. That can mean learning new ways to respond in stressful moments, practicing acceptance of difficult feelings, or changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
The focus is on practical change that fits into real life. Jonathan also supports people facing grief, trauma, relationship strain, intimacy concerns, and work-related stress. He works with those navigating ADHD, bipolar concerns, eating issues, and parenting stress.
Additional areas of focus include attachment challenges, body image, and factors linked to adoption or foster care. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled to suit different needs. Jonathan is licensed as an LCSW in multiple states and brings a decade of clinical practice to each session.
He encourages people to take the first step toward clearer goals and steadier coping.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while encouraging actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and anger management. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as low mood, worry, and self-critical thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress in difficult moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust plans over time. That way the work matches what actually helps in day-to-day life rather than following a preset path.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and practice new skills together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a brief break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
