01 · Who Jonah works with
Jonah lists 5 specialisms and 4 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Jonah chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Jonah's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I work with adults who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, people-pleasing, relationship stress or life transitions and want practical tools to shift these behaviors. My approach is collaborative, practical and trauma-informed, helping clients respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, strengthen relationships and build lives guided by their values. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years in the music industry, an experience that gave me unique insight into the pressures faced by musicians, artists and other creative professionals.
I help clients move beyond insight to meaningful change by building practical skills to navigate anxiety, difficult emotions and relationship challenges. I integrate ACT, DBT, EMDR and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients respond more flexibly to difficult thoughts, regulate emotions, strengthen relationships and build lives guided by their values.
If you're feeling stuck, mentally overloaded or caught in repeating patterns, therapy can help you better understand what's happening and develop new ways of responding. My work is practical and collaborative, with a focus on emotional regulation, effective communication and building skills that help you navigate life's challenges more effectively.

03 · What happens next
Jonah practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Jonah's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Jonah at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Jonah is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Jonah.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

Jonah's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 8 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
