About Jonathon

Jonathon Yassanye is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, and questions about identity and self-worth. He works with issues related to sexuality, LGBT concerns, coping with life changes, and self-esteem. People also turn to him for help with isolation, life purpose, and mood concerns.

Jonathon uses a conversation-first approach that centers the client. He listens and helps people decide whether to look at past experiences or focus on the present moment.

Background and approach

Sessions often include practical skills, psychoeducation, and self-care strategies to manage emotions and everyday challenges. He brings eight years of clinical experience to adult mental health. Jonathon earned his social work degree from Case Western Reserve University and completed internships where he practiced cognitive behavioral techniques, anger management skills, and brief psychodynamic work while keeping a person-centered stance.

Jonathon has worked with programs focused on aging and caregiver stress, gaining experience with cognitive decline and caregiver burden. That work involved supporting caregivers and learning assessment tools commonly used with older adults and memory concerns. His methods draw from Existential therapy, Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic perspectives.

He aims to co-create a plan that fits each person, using straightforward interventions and measurable steps to reduce distress and build coping skills.

How his methods work in online therapy

Jonathon draws on Existential Therapy to help people clarify meaning, values, and life purpose by discussing choices and what matters most. Existential work can be useful for those feeling emptiness, life transitions, or questions about identity.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, validation, and working at the client's pace to build trust and understanding. For practical symptom relief he incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts techniques over time based on how a client responds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
