About Jonathan
Jonathan Marsh is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. He has seven years of experience helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression. He identifies as queer and aims to be a steady, nonjudgmental presence in sessions.

Background and approach
Jonathan often supports people navigating identity and LGBT questions, multicultural concerns, and issues such as body image, attachment or abandonment worries. He has additional experience with topics like career stress, guilt and shame, and coping with life changes. He also works with clients dealing with HIV/AIDS, cancer, immigration concerns, and sexuality related topics including BDSM and kink culture.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Jonathan helps clients set clear, manageable aims and then talks through steps to reach them. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work while tailoring the approach to each person's needs.
People can expect a direct but compassionate style that centers their priorities. Jonathan encourages small, practical changes that build confidence and reduce distress over time.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Jonathan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear goals. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with panic attacks, worry, and negative self-beliefs. Another approach centers on building coping skills and behavioral changes through structured exercises and graded steps, which can help with stress, impulsivity, sleep problems, and recovery from addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, background, and what feels workable in daily life. He gauges progress and adjusts methods so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the process. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions, fit therapy into a busy day, or have shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make consistent work and follow-through more achievable for a range of schedules and needs.
