Jonathan De Jesus , LPC

Jonathan De Jesus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has practiced in Texas since 2017. His approach to counseling is conversational and interactive, blending education about skills and strategies with practical, real-world application. He works with a range of concerns, including ADHD, anxiety, career transitions, behavioral challenges, relationship strain, and parental and family issues, tailoring each plan to the priorities a client brings to therapy.

Jonathan emphasizes respect, compassion, and fair treatment in every interaction. He favors a non-confrontational style of challenge, adjusting the pace and intensity of interventions to match a client’s comfort level. Therapeutic work draws on elements of cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and dialectical behavioral theories to help clients develop new perspectives, build skills, and move toward meaningful change.

Treatment plans and the flow of sessions are individualized, shaped by each person’s specific needs and readiness for change. He identifies practical steps alongside opportunities for deeper exploration, aiming to support sustainable growth. His pronouns are He/Him/His, and he views the counseling relationship as a collaborative partnership in which clients set the direction and Jonathan provides guidance and tools to help them progress.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Jonathan De Jesus

Jonathan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, attention challenges, and problem-solving around life transitions.

He also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills. DBT-based strategies support people who want clearer boundaries, more effective communication, and better coping during intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Jonathan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts the mix of techniques over time so treatment remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across locations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists like Jonathan to provide consistent support while accommodating different communication styles and daily rhythms.
