About Jonathan
Jonathan "Chris" Harrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers a calm, person-centered approach. He asks clients to lead the work while he follows with professional guidance. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Chris has five years of experience as a therapist in Utah. He uses mindfulness-based practices and acceptance-oriented techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. He also supports people navigating identity and LGBT concerns and works with self-esteem, relationship struggles, and ADHD-related challenges.
How Jonathan works
In sessions he emphasizes small, concrete changes. He helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and test new ways of responding. Work can include values clarification, mindful exercises, and strategies to reduce overwhelm in daily life.
He pays attention to feelings of guilt, shame, and the need for forgiveness. He also helps people build self-love and handle social anxiety or phobia with step-by-step exposure and coping skills. The tone is practical and collaborative rather than lecture-based.
Clients can expect straightforward language and a steady presence. Chris invites people who are ready for change to begin a conversation and see if his way of working fits their needs.

Online support options
Mindfulness and values work delivered online
Acceptance-oriented and mindfulness-based techniques focus on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. These approaches teach practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and stay connected to what matters day to day.Practical ADHD-focused strategies break down tasks and build routines so life fits the person better. This can include short planning tools, environmental tweaks, and small habit changes to make daily demands easier to meet.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. Over a few sessions the plan can change based on what helps most.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face work and exercises, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or brief coaching between meetings. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy on track.
