About Jonathan

Jonathan Rex is a licensed therapist practicing in Indiana. He holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). He brings eight years of experience helping people through stressful life moments and emotional challenges.

Jonathan focuses on clear, practical steps in sessions. He listens first, then helps clients build skills for coping with anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. He also addresses parenting and family concerns, along with anger, substance use, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. He uses short-term strategies and goal-focused tools so people leave with concrete ideas they can try between meetings. He also pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that affect relationships.

Jonathan values a warm, nonjudgmental space. He aims to help people feel heard and to find next steps that fit their life. He acknowledges that starting therapy can be hard and treats that step as a meaningful beginning.

In practice he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches guide how he teaches coping skills, supports motivation to change, and narrows in on practical solutions for the issues people bring. Clients can expect focused conversations, joint problem solving, and tools to try at home.

He works to make sessions useful and easy to apply to everyday family and parenting concerns.

How Jonathan’s Approaches Work Online

Jonathan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves simple exercises and practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and lift mood. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients find their own reasons to change; that approach focuses on strengthening motivation and resolving mixed feelings about steps forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan will talk through options with each person and decide, collaboratively, what seems most likely to meet their goals. He tailors techniques to what a person wants to accomplish and to their daily life, so therapy stays focused and practical.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep continuity when life is busy and let people use the method that helps them participate consistently. The goal is flexible, accessible care that concentrates on clear steps people can use between meetings.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

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.
