About Jonathon
Jonathon Yassanye is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and self-esteem concerns. He also supports men and LGBT clients facing relationship strain, life changes, or questions about sexuality. Jonathon aims to create a space where clients feel heard and validated as they work toward clearer goals.
Jonathon takes a collaborative, person-centered approach. He meets people where they are and shapes treatment around each person’s needs. That may include looking at past experiences or focusing on present coping skills. He uses education, practical interventions, and self-care techniques to reduce symptoms and build daily routines that work.
He earned his degree from Case Western Reserve University and brings eight years of clinical experience in adult mental health. Early internships included community-based clinics where he developed skills in cognitive behavioral work, anger management strategies, and brief psychodynamic methods while maintaining a person-centered relationship style.
Later roles included work at a community-based agency focused on aging and dementia, where he learned about cognitive decline and supported both affected individuals and family caregivers. That experience shaped his approach to caregiver stress, grief, and communication challenges.
Jonathon holds LISW and LCSW credentials and has completed additional training in caregiver programs and assessment tools used with older adults. He has also worked with a Deconstructing Anxiety model under supervision. He practices from California and conducts sessions in English.
