Jonathan Marsh

Jonathan Marsh is a queer licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. He brings seven years of clinical experience to his work and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and issues related to LGBT identity. He also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and substance-related struggles.

Jonathan aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly about what matters to them. He works with each person to set clear, achievable goals and to find practical steps toward those goals. Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation and concrete strategies rather than jargon.

In his practice he addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, anger, and coping with major life changes. He also works with people navigating ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, panic, and personality-related concerns. Additional focus areas include body image, attachment and abandonment issues, multicultural concerns, and kink-aware therapy topics.

Jonathan tries to match his approach to the needs of each person. He encourages collaboration and checks in regularly to see what is or isn’t working. The intention is to help people build skills they can use between sessions and to support steady progress toward clearer priorities.

For people in New York who prefer working with someone who identifies as queer, he offers a direct and practical style. Conversations are plainspoken and aimed at making daily life more manageable and meaningful.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Jonathan describes his practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical steps. One common approach is goal-focused talk therapy, which helps people break larger problems into smaller, manageable tasks and build skills to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Another is trauma-informed care, which pays attention to past harm and aims to avoid re-triggering while helping people regain a sense of control and safety in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan collaborates with each person to identify what fits best based on their concerns, goals, and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts methods if something isn’t helping or if priorities change.

If you are considering online therapy with him, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find online therapy easier to fit into a busy week, since sessions can reduce commute time and let you schedule a check-in between other obligations. Online options can make it simpler to keep continuity of care while traveling or when work schedules shift, and they can allow for shorter, focused sessions when that better suits someone’s needs.
