Practitioner record · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Jonathan Rasbach has been in practice 3 years and is licensed in Michigan. Jonathan lists stress, Anxiety, addictions and relationship issues among 17 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Jonathan's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Jonathan works with
Jonathan lists 5 specialisms and 12 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.
Clear, steady support for trauma, anxiety, identity, and relationship healing: A grounded, compassionate approach to help you understand your story, strengthen what matters, and move toward lasting change.
I’m Jonathan, a licensed professional counselor serving teens, adults, couples, and families across Southwest Michigan. I walk with clients navigating trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression, identity questions, relationship conflict, compulsive sexual behaviors, substance misuse, and long‑standing emotional or behavioral patterns. I also support those working through faith questions or spiritual wounds, and I offer Christian counseling for clients who want their beliefs and values integrated into the therapeutic process.
My approach is trauma‑informed, emotionally attuned, and grounded in evidence‑based care. I draw from EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative and Jungian perspectives, and attachment‑based models such as Gottman and ABFT. These methods help clients process painful experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, improve communication, and build healthier, more resilient patterns in daily life and relationships.
I work in a steady, collaborative way-direct when needed, always respectful of your pace, your values, and your story. Therapy with me is a safe, non‑shaming space where you can explore what’s been weighing on you, understand your emotions with greater clarity, and move toward a more grounded and congruent sense of identity.
Healing is possible. You don’t have to walk this path alone. I’m glad you’re here, and I look forward to supporting you in the work ahead.

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.
