About Jonathon

Jonathon Yassanye, LISW, LCSW, helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and related struggles. He focuses on building practical skills for everyday life and listens to what matters most to each person. Sessions emphasize clear steps and thoughtful conversation to ease overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning.

He uses a mix of familiar approaches to tailor care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness techniques appear often in his practice. He also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas when past patterns or life meaning come up.

Jonathon trained at Case Western Reserve University and has eight years of clinical experience in adult mental health. Early work included community clinic settings where he practiced CBT and anger management, alongside brief psychodynamic interventions. He later worked with older adults and caregivers and completed education on Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders.

That experience included providing support to caregivers and learning how to communicate with people across stages of cognitive change. He has used standardized measures such as the Geriatric Depression Scale and the PHQ-9 as part of assessment and tracking when appropriate.

Therapy with him is collaborative. He helps people set goals, learns what has or hasn’t worked before, and builds a plan that fits their life. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person where they are. It helps when someone needs a steady, empathic space to talk through stress, relationships, or identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger because it gives clear tools to try between sessions.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and life choices. It can help people feeling empty, stuck, or questioning purpose to name what matters and make intentional changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made, and choices are made together rather than imposed.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use mindfulness or CBT exercises at home between visits, so techniques can be practiced in everyday routines.
