About Jonathan

Jonathan Goelz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of professional experience. He works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and challenges around relationships and parenting. He practices in Georgia and offers sessions in English.

Jonathan focuses on straightforward conversation and practical skills. He uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thought patterns, test assumptions, and try new behaviors. He also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to focus on relationship dynamics and on how people experience connection.

Sessions center on what the person wants to change. Jonathan and the client map goals, track small steps, and adjust the work as needed. He aims to be respectful and sensitive while keeping the work concrete and doable.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including grief, trauma and abuse, career transitions, ADHD, and issues with intimacy or body image. He also works with struggles that overlap, such as co-occurring depression and addiction or communication and commitment problems.

Jonathan has experience across different life stages and focuses on practical coping tools, clearer communication, and managing strong emotions. He encourages clients to try skills between sessions and to bring real situations from daily life into the work.

How his therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anger that comes from rigid thinking or avoidance and for building consistent behavior changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT helps with strong emotional reactions by breaking down the chain from thought to feeling to action and teaching practical skills to interrupt it.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. He adjusts the plan based on what helps and what does not, keeping the collaboration practical.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often use the flexibility of remote sessions to practice new skills between meetings and to address moments that come up in everyday life.
