01 · Who Jonathan works with
Jonathan lists 5 specialisms and 26 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Jonathan chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Jonathan's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Taking the step to reach out for therapy often comes during a personal crisis or a feeling that life simply isn't working as well as it could. Recognizing that you need a shift takes courage, and finding the right support shouldn't feel like another obstacle.
For the past 17 years, I have worked in the mental health field, with a deep focus on supporting active-duty military members, veterans, and their families. That experience has shaped my belief that real healing happens in a grounded, collaborative space where you are heard and respected. No matter your issue we can work together to map out a path that works for you. I have been a fully licensed clinician for the past 4 years.
I don’t have magical powers, and I won't pretend to have all the answers for your life. What I bring to the table is standard-of-care clinical training, nearly two decades of hands-on experience, and a genuine commitment to helping you find your way forward. My role isn't to tell you what to do; it’s to help you navigate where you are. I ask targeted questions and listen deeply to understand your unique situation. You remain in the driver's seat. We look at the options together, but you determine what is best for your life. I aim to create an environment where you can speak candidly, drop the weight you've been carrying, and figure out your next steps without judgment.
I make therapy as easy as possible, offering online appointments evenings and weekends to fit around your work and life schedule.
I prefer to take a client/session led approach. Meaning that if we are discussing or working on something and I think something will benefit you or increase insight I will work it in and see how you feel about the approach.
Think of it like being in a maze: When you're inside, it's frustrating, overwhelming, and hard to see past the next wall. My job is to step back with you and look at the maze from above. From that perspective, we can map out the pathways together, giving you the clarity to make thoughtful, intentional decisions rather than purely emotional ones.

03 · What happens next
Jonathan 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 Jonathan'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 Jonathan at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Jonathan 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 Jonathan.
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.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Jonathan actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Jonathan's - Jonathan has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
