About Jonathan
Jonathan Cottrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and CSW practicing in Colorado with nine years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, and ADHD. He also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, disability, communication problems, control issues, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose.
He uses short, practical conversations to clarify what matters next. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing and on skills that can be used between meetings. Jonathan draws on approaches that help people change unhelpful patterns and try new behavior in everyday life.
He blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and test new responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are part of the problem. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, manageable goals and track progress week to week.
Jonathan keeps language simple and concrete. Expect direct questions, reflective listening, and step-by-step options to practice between sessions. He aims to make sessions useful for daily routines and real-world stressors rather than abstract discussion.
His practice is oriented toward adults navigating life changes, work transitions, or the strain of long-term health problems. People who feel stuck, unsure of what comes next, or overwhelmed by anxiety or mood issues often seek his help to sort priorities and move toward clearer choices.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive actions. It supports choosing actions that match personal values even when emotions are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing different behaviors to change mood and activity levels. These methods are often used for anxiety, depression, and impulsi vity related problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan treats approach selection as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan based on what works in practice.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it simpler to bring real-life situations into session discussion, for example talking through workplace stress between shifts. Work with a licensed professional to determine a rhythm and format that fits your schedule and needs.
