About Jonathan

Jonathan "Chris" Harrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck by listening first and following the person's lead. He often works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, self esteem, ADHD, relationship concerns, and LGBT-related issues.

Chris uses a person-centered stance where the client guides the pace and goals of therapy. He draws on mindfulness-based practices and work with personal values to help people make changes that fit their life. Sessions are practical and aimed at small, doable steps rather than big leaps.

He has five years of experience as a therapist in Utah and combines that background with everyday language in sessions. Chris emphasizes skills that help manage social anxiety and phobia, reduce guilt and shame, and build self-love over time. He pays particular attention to the challenges people with ADHD report, helping them rearrange routines and expectations so life feels more manageable.

In sessions he uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and value-based exercises alongside other evidence-based techniques. Those approaches are used to help people clarify what matters and take actions toward those values. He aims to make work in therapy feel relevant to day-to-day life.

If someone is considering starting therapy with him, the first step is an initial conversation to see if the fit feels right. That first meeting focuses on current concerns, realistic goals, and practical next steps for moving forward.

How values work and mindfulness translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses mindfulness and values clarification to help people live in ways that match what matters to them. Sessions often include noticing thoughts without getting stuck and choosing small actions that reflect personal values. This approach can help with self esteem, anxiety, and decisions in relationships.

Value-based exercises focus on identifying what matters and breaking those values into doable steps. The work often includes short behavioral experiments and practical planning to change daily routines. That kind of work is useful for ADHD strategies, reducing shame, and building self-love through repeated practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which techniques fit a person's needs and preferences. Goals and methods are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly use online work to focus on skill practice, values-based planning, and troubleshooting real-life steps between meetings.
