Clients say this provider is
I have worked in Counseling and Human Services for 20yrs. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Lexington Kentucky since 2015. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental environment for clients to openly share their experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the foundation of my treatment approach as I assist clients with identifying negative thinking patterns that support anxiety and depression.
In our first session, I provide a brief introduction about my therapeutic approach, so they have an understanding of who am as a clinician. Moreover, it is my goal to create an environment so they can openly share why they are seeking counseling. When clients leave their first session, I want them to have a clear understanding what change and/or improvements will look like for them. This will help me create a treatment plan that is customized to their needs, which will help us assess progress.
My experience in working in Human Services for 20yrs I have learned the importance of good communication, supportive reflections, active listening skills, and unconditional positive regard. At the end of the day, I want my clients to know I genuinely care about their wellbeing, and I will walk next to them with a therapeutic plan to help them address their needs.
I enjoy working with clients that are motivated and desire change in their lives. The development of a treatment plan is crucial because it is used to develop a framework and to assess progress during treatment process.

I use evidenced based principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat clients with Anxiety, depression, anger, substance use disorder, personality disorder, self-harm, and bipolar disorder. According to CBT, for every situation that we experience in life, we have automatic thoughts, which influence how we feel, how our body responds, and how we behave. Using CBT, I support and validate the client's experience/event(s). I develop a treatment plan to help the individual learn coping skills and build their self-confidence. Moreover, I seek to empower individuals to be in charge of how they think, feel, behave, and experience the world around them.

Hands down the best therapist one could ask for! I’ve grown immensely in the time I’ve been speaking with Johnathan and I’m a grateful for how he’s able to help me navigate things and how in tune he is. Great feedback and challenges certain ideas and offers perspective that is very helpful.

I appreciate the opportunity of speaking to someone who will listening to me and not think I am crazy. He listened to me carefully and offered clear suggestion to my issues.

Johnathan was very attentive, intentional, and inviting. I could feel he was being authentic which made it effortless to open up about so many different things. It was hands down the best first session I’ve had with a therapist ever. He helped me organize my thoughts and asked the right questions. Definitely felt seen and heard and free to speak what was on my mind. Great guy and would recommend!
