About Jonathan
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience, Jonathan Richard supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career questions, and issues related to LGBT identity. He trained in a Masters of Arts in Counseling (MAC) and completed a clinical internship at Capital Area Counseling. Jonathan practices in Austin, Texas and conducts sessions in English.
Jonathan found his approach while working with a broad mix of people during his internship. He prefers conversational, person-centered work that feels natural and direct. He often brings Solution-Focused Therapy into sessions and borrows ideas from cognitive behavioral approaches when they fit the moment.
In practical terms he begins by asking what the client would like to see change. Sessions focus on concrete descriptions of preferred outcomes and on moments when the desired change has already happened before. Questions are used to identify small, repeatable steps that move toward those moments.
Jonathan emphasizes short-term, goal-oriented conversations rather than long, open-ended exploration. He will notice strengths, prior successes, and specific behaviors to build on. This style suits people who want focused, outcome-oriented work and clear next steps.
He also addresses deeper feelings such as emptiness, guilt, shame, and struggles with self-love alongside more immediate problems. His sessions aim to link small changes to a clearer sense of what life feels like when things are slightly better, so progress is more visible and manageable.

How Solution-Focused work translates to remote sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on describing a preferred future and finding practical steps that point toward it. This approach asks clients to name concrete differences they want to notice and highlights past moments when things were better to build small, repeatable actions. It works well for problems like stress, anxiety, relationship friction, career decisions, and parenting challenges.Jonathan pairs that focus with conversational, person-centered work. He listens for strengths and prior successes, then collaborates with the client to pick experiments or actions to try between sessions. Deciding which methods to use is a joint process based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than a fixed plan imposed up front.
Specific session formats are not stated in his biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also allow for flexible timing around work or family responsibilities and let the therapist and client focus directly on small, actionable goals that can be practiced between meetings.
