About
Jonathan Nelson III, LCSW, brings a direct and compassionate perspective to clinical work in Florida. He acknowledges the difficulty of asking for help and understands how people often mask their struggles to keep moving through daily life. He invites individuals who recognize that avoidance and autopilot living are wearing them down to consider a different way forward.
With 12 years of experience across a range of practice settings, Jonathan has held roles in clinical administration, supervision, and mentoring as well as direct psychotherapy in nonprofit organizations, correctional facilities, and with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. He uses that varied background to tailor sessions to each person’s situation while drawing on evidence-informed methods.
Jonathan encourages clients to make an active choice to engage and to face difficult feelings as part of producing meaningful change. He frames therapy as collaborative work: identifying what matters, naming patterns that keep people stuck, and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. When a person is ready to decide to work, he offers structured support to move beyond endurance toward clearer intention and action.

Remote care with evidence-informed methods
Jonathan uses a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take steps toward a life they find meaningful, even when uncomfortable thoughts and feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation.
He approaches online work as collaborative and active. Clients who prefer goal-focused sessions that combine exploration of personal values with concrete skills practice will likely find this style fitting. Sessions are structured to identify priorities, try new strategies between meetings, and refine plans as needed.
Remote appointments are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options allow for flexible communication methods while maintaining a consistent therapeutic plan and ongoing dialogue about progress and next steps.
