About Jonathan
Jonathan Kris is a licensed social worker with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. He aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed.
He uses Attachment-based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work often ties into concerns about intimacy, abandonment, or family of origin issues. He also draws on Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to tailor how sessions proceed.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and real-world skills. Jonathan helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to see what changes. He also pays attention to longstanding patterns that come from early relationships and life experiences.
People bring many kinds of problems, from sleep and eating struggles to panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, or trouble with communication. He works with mood disorders like bipolar and with career stress, grief, and compassion fatigue as well. Jonathan trained at the University of Michigan and holds an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. If someone wants to explore therapy, he invites them to discuss goals and what a helpful next step might look like.

Online support
Attachment work and practical therapy online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect how people connect today and can help with intimacy, trust, abandonment concerns, and family of origin patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental space so people can lead the pace and topics of their work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors and helps people practice small changes that reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest a mix of methods that fit. That mix can change over time as needs and goals shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick processing, check-ins between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, or other commitments and let people try different formats to see what helps most.
