About Jonathan
Jonathan Marsh is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He brings seven years of clinical experience and a direct, supportive approach to sessions. Jonathan identifies as queer and centers respect and acceptance in his work.
He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders alongside concerns like ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and panic attacks. He also helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleeping problems, anger, and issues around intimacy.
How Jonathan works
Jonathan pays attention to identity-related concerns, including LGBT topics and multicultural factors. In-session he aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. He works with each person to set clear, achievable goals and chooses practical strategies that fit daily life.
Conversations are straightforward and collaborative so people know what to expect from week to week. Jonathan also addresses complex relational and identity matters such as attachment and abandonment wounds, body image, narcissistic dynamics, and issues connected to kink and alternative sexual culture. He brings experience supporting people dealing with immigration stress, HIV/AIDS related concerns, cancer-related adjustment, guilt, and shame.
Sessions include emotional check-ins, skill building, and planning for changes outside therapy. He communicates in English and offers appointments through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started requires completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Approach, online options, and what they offer
Jonathan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, anxiety, and identity-related concerns. One useful approach focuses on building emotional awareness and practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms; it teaches breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment and abandonment patterns so people can identify unhelpful relationship behaviors, practice new ways of relating, and reduce repeated cycles of hurt.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Jonathan discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to shape a plan. He invites collaboration so the chosen approaches fit the client’s life and needs rather than imposing a fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues when helpful, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, travel, and daily demands while maintaining continuity of support.
