About Jonathan
Jonathan Cottrell is a Colorado LCSW and CSW with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, ADHD, and social anxiety and phobia. He also addresses chronic pain and illness, communication problems, impulsivity, control issues, and questions about life purpose.
Jonathan uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods in sessions. He combines practical tools with conversations that help people notice patterns and try small changes. Sessions focus on what a person wants to do differently and how to take manageable steps toward that goal.
He draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and shift behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy inform his work on communication and short-term problem solving. These methods guide how he structures sessions and plans next steps.
In a typical meeting, Jonathan helps people name specific worries, test out new ways of responding, and track what works. He often uses brief exercises, focused discussion, and practical homework between sessions. The aim is to build skills that fit into everyday life rather than add more complexity.
Clients come for help calming overwhelming worry, improving interactions, handling health-related limits, and making clearer decisions. He works in English and practices in Colorado as a LCSW and CSW. To start, readers should confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.
How Jonathan uses CBT and ACT in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and clarifying personal values to guide action. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for social anxiety and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps with improving communication and understanding emotional responses in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan treats the choice of method as collaborative. He will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what feels most useful to the client. Sessions may blend techniques as needs and preferences become clearer.
