About Jonathan
Jonathan De Jesus is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses a conversational, practical approach to help people facing stress and life transitions. He offers straightforward, respectful sessions that focus on real problems like anxiety, parenting challenges, and workplace stress. Jonathan works from Texas and conducts therapy in English.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. That means sessions often include talking through unhelpful thoughts, learning coping skills, and setting small goals that lead to change.
Background and approach
Jonathan keeps things interactive and educational so people leave with tools to use between meetings. His style aims to balance challenge with comfort. He will push for growth without forcing people past their pace, and he emphasizes respect and compassion.
This approach can help with issues such as depression, anger, ADHD-related struggles, and problems with self-esteem. Jonathan also addresses family and parenting concerns and broader relational stress. He can help clarify communication problems, control issues, and transitions that affect family life.
Sessions are shaped by the client’s needs rather than a rigid plan. People who work with him can expect practical steps each week. Common focuses include managing emotions, improving daily routines, and addressing obsessive or compulsive patterns.
He aims to be a steady partner through change rather than a distant expert.
Online approaches that focus on skills and solutions
Jonathan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stressors.He also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools are useful when emotions feel intense or when someone needs better ways to cope in moments of crisis.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will collaborate with each person to determine which methods feel most useful. He tailors sessions to goals, comfort level, and what is working in practice rather than sticking strictly to one model.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions provide a simpler option, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins or skill practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday routines.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
