About Jonathan
Jonathan Richard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Texas. He trained with a Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward's University and spent part of his early career doing an internship at Capital Area Counseling.
Jonathan describes himself as easy-going and prefers natural, conversational sessions that help clients move toward concrete goals. He leans toward Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on what clients want to change and what has worked for them before.
Background and approach
Sessions often start by asking what a better day would look like and then build on small steps toward that vision. Jonathan sometimes draws on ideas from cognitive behavioral approaches when those tools fit the situation.
Jonathan’s background includes work with a wide range of life challenges, such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting questions, and issues related to identity and intimacy. He also pays attention to feelings like emptiness, guilt and shame, and cultivating self-love. His style is calm and practical, aimed at helping people identify clear next steps.
He emphasizes collaboration in session and invites clients to describe times they’ve felt closer to their goals. That history becomes the starting point for planning changes that feel achievable. Parents and people focused on family and parenting issues may find his goal-oriented way of working especially useful.
With three years of professional experience, Jonathan offers straightforward help that focuses on realistic progress rather than quick fixes. He prefers short, focused conversations that build toward lasting difference.
Solution-Focused Work Online and How It Helps
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear goals and building from what already works in a person's life. The therapist asks about desired outcomes and times when the problem was less severe, then helps identify small, practical steps to get closer to that vision. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges by focusing on practical change rather than dwelling on problems.Jonathan also draws from conversational, person-centered ideas and occasionally uses cognitive behavioral techniques when helpful. Those additions bring a relaxed session tone and concrete tools for managing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He will work together with each client to pick the mix of methods that fits their needs and preferences, treating the choice of approach as a collaborative decision.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. This range allows people to fit sessions around parenting schedules, work, or other commitments. Jonathan uses these formats to keep conversations focused and actionable so progress can happen between sessions as well as during them.
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.
