My Approach to Helping
My name is Jonathan Closner, and I have been providing therapeutic and clinical counseling services to clients for over 15 years. I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and also a nationally certified counselor (NCC). I hold a dual masters in mental health counseling and marriage and family therapy. As a therapist, I utilize clinical interventions and techniques that are individualized to the unique issues of the client. I have extensive training and experience in evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). In addition, I am also trained in sex therapy and incorporate sex positive approaches with clients. In my experience, I find that an integration of clinical modalities is often most effective and appreciated by clients.
Overall, I approach my work with clients from a strength-based perspective. I believe that clients possess the strengths and resources within their lives to be successful in overcoming the challenges and problems that they face. These challenges come in the form of mental health problems, relationship issues, or other stressors that arise out of life circumstances. My commitment is to use the most appropriate techniques and interventions that allow clients to resolve problems, reduce symptoms, and increase personal strengths and skills for dealing with these issues in the future.
Clinical areas of experience and expertise include the treatment of depression, anxiety, personality issues, sexual problems, sexual orientation, LGBTQ issues, relationships and sex, alternative lifestyles, and substance use.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
