About Jonathan
He approaches therapy as a collaborative process that helps clients better understand their patterns, emotions, and goals. Jonathan uses a range of methods - including cognitive, psychodynamic, behavioral, and trauma-informed techniques - to tailor care to each person’s needs and preferences. That flexibility allows him to shift strategies depending on what is most helpful at a given stage of work.
Jonathan aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where individuals can share their thoughts and feelings and explore practical steps toward change. He is available to discuss a person’s goals and whether his clinical style would be a good fit, and he works with clients to develop a plan that aligns with their priorities and strengths.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Jonathan Kris draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with clients online. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections, helping people address abandonment or intimacy-related concerns and build more secure bonds. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance that supports self-exploration and empowers clients to find their own solutions for issues like low self-esteem or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for treating anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jonathan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may try a single approach or combine elements from different models to create a tailored plan that evolves over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and Jonathan also offers live chat and text-based messaging options. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from home, and continue work between sessions, while still benefiting from the guidance of licensed professionals and therapists.
