About Jonathan
Jonathan De Jesus is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings a conversational, interactive style to sessions. He uses practical tools and clear discussion to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Jonathan aims to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming.
He focuses on everyday problems like parenting strain, career transitions, anger, and communication breakdowns. He also works with issues tied to trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and life purpose.
Background and approach
Sessions combine teaching, problem solving, and gentle challenge to match each person’s comfort level. Jonathan draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape treatment. That means you can expect skill-building, attention to emotions and behavior, and short-term goal work when appropriate.
Plans evolve based on what’s most helpful for the individual. He practices in Texas and has three years of clinical experience as an LPC. His approach emphasizes respect and compassion while keeping conversations straightforward.
He aims to help people build skills they can use between sessions. People who see him often talk through concrete steps for coping and managing daily strain. Jonathan supports work on control issues, dissociation, forgiveness, obsessions and compulsions, and challenges common in young adulthood and midlife.
He welcomes a collaborative process to identify meaningful next steps for change.
How Jonathan’s Approaches Work Online
Jonathan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong feelings and improve relationships.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term goals and build on what is already working. Together these approaches give a mix of skill building, emotional support, and focused problem solving. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - the therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences and then shape sessions to fit those priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and messaging suit quick updates, brief skill practice, or scheduling when being on camera is not needed. These options help fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy schedules while keeping focus on practical change and skill practice.
