Johnathan Lein

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

It is often said that life is a journey in which you experience”ups and downs”. Unfortunately for many who experience a down time, there are difficulties overcoming barriers when trying to go back “up” again. I want to meet you where you are when you are overwhelmed by those barriers. I want to walk with you and work with you toward an improved quality of life while helping you arm yourself with the necessary tools to navigate through any future barriers.

My name is Johnathan Lein. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW – LMSW-C) originally from Michigan with over 25 years of experience in psychotherapy. I graduated with my BA in Sociology/Social Work in 1983 and earned my MSW in Social Work in 2001. After working under clinical supervision I became fully licensed in 2006. I have spent my career working in three areas: Medical Social Work, Educational Social Work and Psychotherapy/Counseling. I have worked with young people, adults, geriatric adults, and individuals in the LBGTQ community. I have also been a school administrator in both the public and private sectors in two states.

I want to highlight a “population” that I have vast experience with; and that is the Medical Provider population. Those who are medical students all the way to Doctors, Nurses, PA’s and Nurse Practitioners.

Some, but not all the areas I have experience in are anxiety, life changes, self-esteem issues, depression, grief, young adults on the autism spectrum, intimacy & sexual issues, sexual abuse survivors, trauma, career transition issues, learning disabilities and family issues.

When meeting with a client, I use a Person Centered Approach. I want to guide you as you travel the journey toward a better place in life while utilizing my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Focused Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I want to get to know you well, so that together we can approach your barriers and navigate toward a positive outcome. I always consider it a privilege to work with each individual who entrusts me as their therapist.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that works best for them, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it simpler to integrate therapy into a busy schedule and to access care from different locations.

Therapists offering remote services are licensed professionals, and if a different fit is desired it is possible to switch to another therapist. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, effective way to address everyday mental health concerns and to make steady progress toward personal goals.
