About Jonathan

Jonathan Rosengren is a licensed LMSW based in Michigan who brings nine years of clinical experience to his practice.

Background and approach

He combines an internal focus on parts work with practical, evidence-informed strategies to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, grief, and career challenges. His work also addresses areas like body image, communication and commitment issues, codependency, and caregiver stress.

Jonathan emphasizes a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship that centers the client's lived experience. He draws on Internal Family Systems alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to shape individualized plans.

This blend supports emotional regulation, coping with life changes, and exploring values and motivation without relying on stigmatizing labels. In sessions he aims to help clients strengthen self-worth, clarify purpose, and build practical skills for everyday life.

He offers flexible online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and guides clients through a gradual process of identifying goals and selecting strategies that fit their needs and rhythm.

Integrating Parts Work and Practical Therapies Online

Jonathan draws on Internal Family Systems to help clients notice and relate to different internal parts with curiosity and care; this approach can help with internal conflicts, self-criticism, and patterns that fuel anxiety or relationship struggles. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values, practicing acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals.

The right approach is often discovered together. Jonathan emphasizes collaboration in identifying which methods best match a client's needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques from parts work, acceptance-based strategies, attachment-focused work, and cognitive-behavioral tools as the therapeutic process unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy lives and maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and varied ways to communicate, supporting steady progress while honoring individual comfort and accessibility needs.
