Jonathon Yassanye

Jonathon Yassanye is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and depression. He works with adults facing relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, LGBT-related concerns, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps so daily life can feel more manageable again.

His sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Jonathon listens first, then helps clients decide whether to look at past events or focus on present coping. He uses psychoeducation, self-care strategies, and skill-building to reduce symptoms and improve functioning.

Jonathon holds a Licensed Independent Social Worker credential in Ohio and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in California. He graduated from Case Western Reserve University and brings eight years of clinical experience in adult mental health.

Early work included internships where he developed skills in cognitive behavioral techniques, anger management, and brief psychodynamic approaches while keeping a person-centered style. He later worked in geriatric settings and learned to support people through cognitive changes and to provide therapy for family caregivers.

Ongoing learning has included grief and loss work, experiential approaches, and training in a Deconstructing Anxiety model. He combines these influences to tailor treatment plans to each person’s goals and day-to-day needs.

How his approaches inform online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client steer the conversation. It’s useful when someone needs a supportive space to clarify goals and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to build practical skills for anxiety, anger, and low mood. It often includes exercises between sessions to practice new ways of coping.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Jonathon works with people to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Over the first few sessions he will check in and adjust methods based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity after life changes. Licensed professionals, including therapists with experience in CBT and person-centered work, can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions when the methods fit the client's goals.
