About Jonathon
LISW, LCSW in California with eight years of clinical experience, Jonathon Yassanye helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and issues related to sexuality and self-esteem. He also focuses on caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, isolation, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
Jonathon uses a person-centered stance to begin work. He listens for what matters most and then co-creates a plan that reflects each person’s goals. That plan can include skills teaching, education about symptoms, and practices to manage emotions day to day.
He draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and to build concrete coping skills. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that influence current behavior and relationships. Mindfulness practices and existential questions about meaning are woven in when they suit the person’s aims.
Jonathon trained at Case Western Reserve University and completed internships that emphasized CBT, anger management, and brief psychodynamic approaches. He later worked at Jewish Family Service Association of Cleveland, where he developed work with people experiencing cognitive change and with family caregivers.
He earned clinical licensure while supervised by an experienced social worker and completed additional trainings, including the Savvy Caregiver Program and administration of several clinical measures for cognitive and mood assessment. He has also completed certification through a Deconstructing Anxiety model under Dr. Todd Pressman.
People who choose him can expect straightforward, practical sessions focused on skills, understanding patterns, and solving immediate problems while considering longer term life questions.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. In practice this means the therapist listens first, then helps people set priorities and decide which methods to try. It suits concerns like relationship strain, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions can include behavioral experiments, homework, and skills practice for anxiety, depression, and anger. These are useful when people want concrete steps to change daily patterns.
Existential Therapy helps people talk about meaning, purpose, and difficult life choices. It tends to be a conversational approach that can help with life purpose, emptiness, and transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then shape a plan together. That plan can combine different approaches as needed and evolve over time.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can use teaching, worksheets, and guided exercises effectively in remote sessions to build skills and track progress.
