About Jonathan
Jonathan Goelz LCSW is a licensed clinical social worker in New York and California with ten years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and a range of other life stressors. He describes his work in straightforward terms and adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation.
Jonathan uses several evidence-informed approaches in sessions. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep distress going. He also incorporates Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas when relationships and connection are central to the problem.
Clients can expect a practical focus in sessions. Jonathan talks through immediate coping skills and longer-term goals. He pays attention to how past relationships shape current behavior and to patterns around addiction, intimacy, and communication. Sessions mix skill-building with reflective work depending on what helps most.
His background includes work across multiple settings over a decade. That experience informs how he supports people facing complex or overlapping issues such as co-morbidity, trauma, and life transitions. He also lists special interest in areas like adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism spectrum concerns, and BDSM and kink communities.
Sessions are offered in English and Jonathan accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Jonathan’s approaches translate to remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT can help with anxiety, low motivation, and life changes by shifting focus to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. CBT is practical and problem oriented. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns in intimacy and communication and can help when relationship problems or attachment issues are central.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with a person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting over time.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that works better, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use a range of methods to deliver therapy remotely, and Jonathan will aim to shape sessions so they fit into everyday life and ongoing obligations.
