About Jonathan
Jonathan De Jesus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses conversational, practical techniques to help people make changes in their lives. He presents therapy in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to create a calm space for people to talk through goals and struggles.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Sessions are interactive and often include teaching skills, trying small experiments, and setting clear next steps.
Background and approach
Jonathan keeps challenge gentle and aligned with what the client feels ready to try. Common concerns he addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, and parenting difficulties. He also helps with career questions, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and issues around control and communication.
His focus includes trauma and abuse and related symptoms such as dissociation and compulsive patterns. Jonathan has worked in counseling roles for three years and uses that experience to match straightforward tools to real-life problems. He is comfortable discussing men's issues, midlife transitions, forgiveness, and finding life purpose.
Sessions emphasize practical skills clients can use between meetings. People who choose him can expect a collaborative approach that blends teaching and problem solving. He aims to help people notice what works, adjust what doesn't, and build routines that fit everyday life.
The goal is steady progress rather than overnight fixes.

Approaches for online parenting and life concerns
Jonathan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help when feelings feel overwhelming.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and identify small changes that lead to big improvements. Together these approaches help people learn practical skills, notice what works, and adjust strategies over time. Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods fit best.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, step-by-step planning, or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, parenting schedules, or busy days while keeping therapy focused on practical steps.
