About Jonathan

Jonathan Richard, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. He brings three years of clinical experience and a calm, conversational approach to sessions. He aims to help people untangle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship questions, and parenting concerns. Jonathan also pays attention to issues like self-esteem, shame, emptiness, grief, and questions around intimacy and LGBT identity.

He trained with a Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward's University and completed an internship at Capital Area Counseling. That internship shaped how he talks with people and helped him discover a style that feels natural and open. He favors short-term, goal-focused work while drawing on person-centered conversation and occasionally cognitive-behavioral ideas.

Jonathan leans toward Solution-Focused Therapy. He often begins by asking what difference someone wants to see in their life. Then he helps them notice past moments when things felt closer to that goal and build practical steps from there. The emphasis is on small, achievable changes rather than long lists of problems.

Sessions tend to be relaxed and direct. He aims to create space for honest talk without heavy clinical language. Parents and people navigating relationship or identity stress find this style useful when they want clear next steps and realistic goals.

If you want straightforward conversation about goals, parenting strains, career choices, or healing from grief and shame, Jonathan offers a down-to-earth, outcome-focused way forward.

Solution-Focused Work Online and Finding What Fits

Solution-Focused Therapy starts by asking what you want to be different. It focuses on small, practical steps and on past moments when things were better. This approach can help with stress, relationship questions, parenting concerns, and moving past shame or emptiness by building on what already works for you.

Person-centered conversation is another part of his practice. That means sessions are relaxed and led by the client's concerns, with the therapist listening and reflecting rather than directing. Together these approaches aim to keep sessions focused and useful while honoring what matters to the client.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jonathan will work collaboratively to decide which methods match a person's goals and preferences. He supports clients in shaping goals and testing practical steps, then adjusts the plan as progress is noticed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone connect from wherever they are in Texas and continue work consistently without rearranging too much of their schedule.
