About Jonathan

Jonathan Gerson is an LMHC with 12 years of clinical experience who centers his work in client-focused, narrative, and mindfulness-informed methods. He brings a compassionate, reflective style that emphasizes exploring personal stories and present-moment experience to address concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress.

Background and approach

Gerson integrates motivational techniques and Jungian perspectives when helpful, aiming to support clients in reclaiming a stronger sense of self and clearer direction.

His practice attends to a broad range of life challenges including compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, and self-esteem difficulties, along with additional focuses such as aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, cancer-related adjustment, gender dysphoria, hospice and end-of-life counseling, veteran issues, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

Working from Washington, he offers people practical tools and reflective space to process transitions, cope with loss, and navigate ongoing symptoms. Gerson’s approach balances empathetic listening with structured narrative work to help clients identify values, strengthen coping, and move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jonathan commonly uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's lived experience, creating space for individuals to lead conversations about their goals and values while the therapist reflects and supports growth. Narrative therapy is also used to examine and reframe life stories, which can help people with ADHD, grief, or identity questions see alternate perspectives and create new meanings. Mindfulness therapy is employed to develop present-moment awareness and coping strategies that reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work in sessions; the therapist will discuss options, try methods that align with a client's needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions to practical goals while honoring each client's narrative and pace.

Online therapy formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and for managing symptoms between sessions. These remote options can make it easier to access regular support, coordinate sessions around caregiving or work, and continue therapeutic progress when in-person visits are difficult.
