About Jonathan
Jonathan Cottrell is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, and ADHD. He practices in Colorado and brings nine years of experience to his work. Jonathan aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people who feel overwhelmed.
He uses plain talk and focused tools rather than long lectures. Sessions often include clear steps to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. He pays attention to how chronic pain, illness, or disability can affect mood and coping.
Background and approach
Jonathan draws on several well-known therapy methods to match what each person needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and commit to small changes. He applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and habits.
He also brings Emotionally-Focused and Solution-Focused ideas when helpful. In sessions he works collaboratively, helping people set goals and try strategies between meetings. He helps with communication problems, control issues, impulsivity, and finding life purpose.
The focus is on practical changes people can use in daily life. Jonathan holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, abbreviated LCSW, and a Clinical Social Worker credential, CSW. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It often focuses on simple exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and routines by using straightforward skills and experiments that people can practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals and try methods that match your needs. If one approach isn't a good fit, he will adjust the plan in collaboration with you until something feels useful.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, quick coaching, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions, giving flexibility for different days and energy levels.
