About Jonathon
Jonathon Yassanye is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, LGBT issues, and coping with life changes. He sees these problems as common but often disruptive, and he focuses on practical ways to reduce that disruption.
He uses a mix of conversational and skills-based work. Sessions include talking through current problems and learning concrete techniques such as cognitive strategies or mindfulness exercises. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas when looking at how past experience affects present feelings. The tone of sessions aims to be straightforward and focused on what helps in daily life.
Jonathon trained at Case Western Reserve University and built early clinical skills in settings that included community clinics and family service agencies. He gained experience with anger management skill training, CBT, and brief psychodynamic therapies during his internships. Later work included supporting people with cognitive decline and offering guidance to caregivers experiencing stress.
He uses assessment tools and caregiver programs learned during that work to inform treatment plans when relevant. He approaches therapy collaboratively, creating plans with clients that often combine psychoeducation, behavioral techniques, and reflective conversation. His background supports work on mood disorders, communication challenges, and finding practical steps to manage strong feelings.
Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and are structured through a cancellable subscription model. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Jonathon commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy in practice. Client-Centered work means conversations that focus on the client’s concerns and goals, helping the client clarify what they want to change. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral experiments to reduce anger and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. He will work with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and day-to-day life. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so methods can be adjusted based on what is most helpful.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into a busy schedule. Confirm current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the original biography. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins, schedule shorter problem-focused meetings, or avoid travel time, which helps integrate therapy into work or caregiving routines. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, use these approaches to help clients apply skills between sessions and handle anger in everyday situations.
