About Jonathan

Jonathan Stahl is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and emotion-focused perspectives to help people address symptoms of anxiety, depression, addiction, and grief while also attending to relational and life-stage challenges.

Background and approach

His training includes a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stetson University, earned in 2013, and over a decade of work with individuals and families.

Jonathan has guided clients through a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and blended family issues, career stress, and complex matters such as codependency, domestic violence, and co-morbid conditions.

He also offers support around sexuality and alternative sex culture topics like BDSM and kink, plus practical help for caregiver stress, cancer-related issues, and recovery from substance use. He approaches therapy collaboratively, helping clients set clear goals and choose strategies that fit their values and daily life.

Sessions draw on evidence-informed tools and on deeper exploratory work when helpful, allowing for both short-term symptom relief and attention to meaning and relationship patterns. Jonathan practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.

Integrating evidence-based approaches for online care

Jonathan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy is also a core part of his work, emphasizing empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can explore concerns at their own pace and build self-directed solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy complements these methods by helping people understand and shift patterns in close relationships, which can be useful for grief, attachment wounds, and conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jonathan partners with clients to clarify goals, try interventions, and adjust methods over time so the therapy aligns with personal needs, values, and preferences. This flexible stance allows a focus on symptom relief when needed and deeper exploration when helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments, access support from home, and use communication styles that fit daily life while working toward meaningful change.
