About Jonathan
Jonathan Kris is a licensed master social worker who offers a calm, direct approach to common struggles like anxiety, stress, depression, and phobias. He frames sessions so people can talk plainly about what feels hard and make small changes that add up over time. He draws on several therapy styles to match the work to each person's needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
Psychodynamic ideas can help connect past experiences to present feelings. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Jonathan focuses on practical steps people can try between visits, along with space to process upsetting events and trauma.
He pays attention to how relationships and family history show up in daily life and choices. With five years of clinical experience and a Michigan LMSW credential, he blends evidence-informed techniques with a warm, nonjudgmental manner. He often helps people facing panic, obsessive thoughts, grief, or life transitions to regain steadier footing.
People who work with him usually get clear suggestions, chances to practice new skills, and regular check-ins about progress. He encourages questions and adjusts the plan as needs shift.
