Getting to know Jonathan Frankel

Hi there, I'm Jonathan! Hello, my name is Jonathan Frankel. I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Southern California, working with clients throughout California via telehealth. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Connecticut. I work with individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, stress, and depression. I use a solution-focused approach that involves targeted identification of needs along with homework between sessions. My approach I believe therapy is a collaborative process. It begins with me using motivational interviewing to help clients identify their sources of stress and anxiety. Once identified, I use a solution-focused approach to provide clients with tools and skills to lessen these disruptive feelings. The tools I use include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and family system patterns. My focus I enjoy working with clients who want to utilize my expertise in a concentrated practice over 4-8 sessions. I also have a strong business background, so I can assist clients experiencing difficulties at work or managing their personal finances. My communication style My communication style is warm and open. I like using humor and playfulness with my clients. Being a good listener and effectively reflecting clients' feelings is very important to me. My clients often report feeling emotionally heard and validated without judgment. My goals for you I use a solution-focused approach with a variety of questions ("Motivational Interviewing") to help clients identify short- and long-term goals. I provide specific tools for clients to work on between sessions to address their goals effectively. At the start of each session, I review which tools the client has been using since the last session and whether they were effective. If not, we explore what didn't work and develop other techniques to try.
