About Jonathan

Jonathan "Chris" Harrell welcomes people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, ADHD, or doubts about self-worth. He uses a person-centered way of working so the client stays in the lead. Chris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Utah with five years of experience.

He focuses on practical steps that fit each person's life. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises and values-based work to help people notice what matters and take small, doable actions.

Background and approach

He pays close attention to social anxiety, phobia, and relationship concerns as well as issues around identity and LGBT matters. Chris has a particular interest in helping people with ADHD build routines and strategies that reduce daily friction. He aims to make therapy feel useful and manageable rather than overwhelming.

He also supports work around forgiveness, guilt, shame, and growing self-love. In sessions he listens first, then offers tools that match the client's pace. Many people find short experiments and clear habit changes helpful between meetings.

The tone is practical and compassionate, with an emphasis on real-world changes. For parents reading on a phone, the process is simple: talk about one or two immediate problems, try an approach, and adjust as you go. If someone wants to begin, Chris asks a few questions to understand priorities and then shapes a plan to fit everyday life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Jonathan "Chris" Harrell commonly draws on mindfulness-informed work and values-based techniques. Mindfulness exercises teach simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and calm anxious moments. Values-based work helps people clarify what matters most and choose small actions that align with those priorities.

He also emphasizes practical strategies for people with ADHD, focusing on routines, environment tweaks, and short experiments to make daily life flow more smoothly. These approaches suit stress, social anxiety, relationship strain, and challenges with motivation or self‑esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chris treats therapy as a collaborative effort and will help clients test methods and adjust based on what actually helps. He listens to goals and preferences, then suggests accessible tools and steps to try between sessions.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lower-bandwidth and easier to fit into a break. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins and short, focused support during busy days. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy consistent with their routines.
