About Jonathan
Jonathan Kabat is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He brings ten years of clinical experience to help people navigate strong emotions, including anger, grief, anxiety, and stress. He focuses on practical change.
Sessions look at how thoughts, body sensations, and behaviors link together. He helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and practice different ways of responding. Jonathan uses several approaches to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
He draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, attachment ideas, and existential perspectives. This mix lets him address trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and problems like dissociation or somatization. He also pays attention to how larger systems and the environment affect emotions.
Jonathan works with people who feel strong reactions to ecological change, including eco-anxiety, eco-rage, and eco-despair. He aims to move those feelings toward clarity, compassion, and purposeful action. Sessions can include talking, noticing bodily responses, and practicing new skills between appointments.
Jonathan supports people through life changes, career questions, parenting strain, and challenges around self-esteem and meaning. He offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging for flexibility.

Approach-driven therapy offered online
Jonathan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning small practical steps to act in ways that matter, which can help with anger, anxiety, and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice thoughts and body sensations so intense emotions become easier to manage.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize ACT skills, mindfulness exercises, cognitive tools, or attachment-focused conversation based on what shows results in early sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and watching how body responses change. Phone can be a lighter check-in with no need for a camera. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief updates, homework support, or shorter check-ins between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
