About Jonathan

Jonathan Cottrell is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and relationship struggles.

Background and approach

He combines practical skill-building with attention to the emotional patterns that sustain difficult symptoms, drawing on nine years of clinical experience in Colorado to support clients facing mood disorders, social anxiety, chronic illness and pain, and issues around control and impulsivity. His style emphasizes collaboration and tailored treatment planning, using evidence-informed methods to translate insights into concrete changes.

Jonathan blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-based and emotionally focused techniques, and he incorporates solution-focused strategies to identify achievable goals. Clients work with him to develop coping strategies, improve communication, clarify life purpose, and reduce the impact of persistent symptoms on daily functioning.

Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented while remaining responsive to each person's story. Jonathan holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Colorado, offering a balance of structure and empathic support as clients build momentum toward meaningful change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Jonathan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice concrete strategies for symptom reduction and improved functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help people clarify values, develop psychological flexibility, and learn how to live consistently with what matters to them despite difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to consider symptoms, goals, and personal preferences and may combine techniques from different methods to create a tailored plan that fits the individual's needs.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to access care from different locations and at varying times. These formats support flexibility for scheduling, allow for ongoing skill practice between sessions, and can help clients maintain continuity of care while balancing work, health, or other responsibilities.
