About Zvonka

Dr. Zvonka Jakopovic is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of clinical experience. She goes by Dr.

J in professional settings and works with adults and adolescents on a wide range of concerns. Her background includes graduate work in Marriage and Family Counseling and long experience providing individual and group support. She helps people manage stress and anxiety and cope with grief and depression.

She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and intimacy-related worries.

Background and approach

Practical problems like communication breakdowns, commitment doubts, and life changes are part of her regular work. Dr. J uses approaches that center the person's experience.

Client-Centered Therapy shapes sessions around what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, responsibility, and choices when life feels uncertain.

Her broader focus includes caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and immigration-related stress. She also addresses family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder where relevant to the client. Sessions are offered in English, Croatian, and Serbian.

Dr. J accepts international clients and uses a range of online formats to fit different needs. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire helps connect a person to scheduling options and next steps.

Online support

Ways of working online with meaning and skills

Dr. J uses a mix of Existential Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, responsibility, and life choices and can help when people feel stuck or unsure about purpose. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the session focused on the person's own concerns and pace, offering acceptance and listening as a foundation. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete techniques to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, current struggles, and what feels most helpful, then tailor methods in collaboration with the client. That way the plan fits the person's needs rather than a single fixed method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing processing between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions and keep continuity of care across locations.
