About Jonathan
Jonathan Cottrell is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. He works with adults who are facing relationship strain, attention challenges, or struggles with mood and motivation. Jonathan practices in Colorado and brings nine years of clinical experience to his work.
He focuses on practical tools people can use between sessions. Jonathan uses evidence-based methods to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person's goals and comfort level. Jonathan often helps with persistent worry, social anxiety and phobia, and the knock-on effects of chronic pain, illness, or disability. He also supports people dealing with impulsivity, control issues, communication problems, and questions about life purpose.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. In session he blends techniques from several approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. That can mean identifying thoughts and behaviors to adjust, practicing emotional connection skills, or setting small, achievable goals.
He describes therapy as a guided, hands-on process. Outside the room Jonathan draws on nine years of work with adults in clinical settings. He uses his LCSW and CSW credentials to inform care and to coordinate with other health professionals when needed.
Jonathan conducts sessions in English and offers a range of online formats to fit different schedules.
How Jonathan Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can support learning small behavioral steps and practicing values-based choices in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will discuss ACT, CBT, and other options and help decide which methods fit a person's goals and comfort. This happens collaboratively, with adjustments over time based on how a person responds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes therapy flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can work when a camera is not needed or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when written reflection helps someone process thoughts between longer sessions.
