Jonathan Goelz, LCSW

Jonathan Goelz is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with ten years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, motivation, self-esteem, and depression. He aims to provide respectful, sensitive, and compassionate support as people take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

He meets people where they are and adapts conversations and care to fit each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical next steps, clearer decisions, and small changes that add up. He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different responses.

Jonathan draws from several therapy approaches that support behavior change and emotional understanding. He uses techniques that help with thinking habits, emotional regulation, and values-based action. The work often mixes listening, skills practice, and planning between sessions.

His background includes a decade of work across multiple states and a range of concerns from grief and trauma to relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people navigating parenting challenges, career shifts, ADHD, and identity concerns such as LGBT issues.

People typically leave sessions with clearer next steps and tools they can use right away. He encourages honest feedback so the plan can change when it no longer fits. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule at their convenience.

How his approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values, which can reduce anxiety and increase motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding, useful for depression, anxiety, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and intimacy, which can help with relationship and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs and goals. He adjusts methods over time based on what is working and what the person prefers.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote work helps them practice skills in their usual routines, and Jonathan will help tailor session length and focus to match life demands and therapeutic goals.
