About Jonathan
Jonathan Goelz is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting challenges. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for worried parents. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions.
Jonathan adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. He focuses on practical skills you can use between sessions, such as stress management techniques and strategies for mood shifts.
Background and approach
Many clients come for help with relationship strain, grief, career concerns, and coping with life changes. He uses a mix of methods drawn from acceptance and commitment approaches, cognitive behavioral ideas, attachment work, and client-centered care. That blend helps address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns while keeping the person’s values and relationships in view.
Sessions tend to be direct and collaborative, with clear goals you can track over time. Jonathan also supports people working through compassion fatigue, eating struggles, ADHD-related difficulties, and intimacy-related concerns. He will listen to your story, help you identify priorities, and co-create steps you can try between appointments.
He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. For parents considering therapy, Jonathan aims to make participation straightforward. He helps parents focus on what they can change, offers practical communication tools, and works on emotional regulation strategies that apply to daily family life.

Approaches that guide online work
Jonathan commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, and he also uses client-centered techniques to shape online sessions. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take steps that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current interactions and emotions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the person’s lead and supports their own problem solving.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which methods to emphasize. That choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and text messaging can keep momentum between appointments. These options give flexibility for different schedules and practical needs while keeping the focus on consistent progress.
