Jonathan Cottrell, LCSW, CSW

Jonathan Cottrell is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and ADHD. He supports adults dealing with relationship strain, social anxiety, and life transitions. Jonathan also works with people managing chronic pain, illness, or disability who want clearer tools for daily life.

He draws on practical, evidence-informed techniques to match each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. Jonathan focuses on learning skills people can use between meetings, such as noticing thoughts, shifting actions toward values, and improving communication.

Jonathan has nine years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and CSW credentials. He practices in Colorado and works with concerns that often overlap, like mood disorders and impulsivity. Many people seek him out for help with control issues and finding a clearer sense of purpose.

In sessions he blends strategies from acceptance-based methods, cognitive work, emotionally-focused approaches, and solution-focused tools. That mix lets him tailor plans that feel practical and relevant. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with attention to what each person values most.

If someone wants to explore therapy, Jonathan encourages a straightforward first step: a brief intake to identify goals and decide how to move forward. He uses plain language in sessions and keeps the pace suited to each person's comfort and needs.

How Jonathan’s approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and chronic health challenges when someone wants clearer direction for daily choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and testing new ways of responding. It often helps with mood problems, social anxiety, and impulsivity by teaching concrete techniques to change reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as needed so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule around work or caregiving, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Online meetings can also make it simpler to bring therapy skills into everyday routines, such as trying a new communication strategy between sessions.
