About Jonathan

Jonathan Yustman is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with nine years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, boost self esteem and confidence, navigate career challenges, and cope with life changes. Jonathan aims to meet people where they are and to treat them with respect and kindness.

He keeps conversations straightforward and practical. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Jonathan works with clients to set clear, doable goals and to build skills that matter in daily life.

Jonathan adapts his pace and approach to fit each client. He listens first, then helps create a plan that may include short-term strategies and longer-term behavior changes. The plan is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.

People often come for help with relationship stress, feeling stuck at work, low confidence, or managing major life transitions. Jonathan offers a calm, supportive presence and focuses on steps clients can take between sessions to notice real differences.

He believes seeking help takes courage and aims to support and empower people through the process. To start, clients answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy

Jonathan describes his practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One common approach teaches short-term strategies for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, pacing, and action steps to reduce overwhelm. These are aimed at helping people get immediate relief and clearer thinking.

Another approach emphasizes building confidence and self esteem through gradual skill-building and behavioral experiments. This work involves setting small goals, testing new ways of acting or thinking, and reflecting on what changes help in everyday life. Both approaches prioritize clear steps clients can use between sessions.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Jonathan will listen to your goals, discuss options, and help decide which techniques fit your needs and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from different locations within the same state. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these techniques effectively to remote sessions when both parties agree on logistics and goals.
