Jonathan Kabat

Jonathan Kabat is a licensed marriage and family therapist who centers mindfulness in his work. He uses attention to the present moment to help people notice patterns, manage strong feelings, and make clearer choices. His style is calm and thoughtful, aimed at helping people reconnect with what matters to them.

He brings ten years of clinical experience in California to issues like trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, and addictions. He also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strains, career decisions, and navigating midlife shifts. Practical skills and in-session reflection are paired with mindful awareness exercises to support steady progress.

Jonathan combines mindfulness with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and existential perspectives when they fit a person’s needs. His work is collaborative - he and the person in therapy decide which approaches to try.

He pays attention to how the body, emotions, and thoughts connect, and draws on that understanding to address dissociation, somatic symptoms, and strong emotional reactions. He also supports people dealing with process addictions, sexual assault and abuse, and post-traumatic stress by helping them develop skills to cope and move forward.

Jonathan is based in California and holds the credential LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Sessions are conducted in English.

How mindfulness and practical therapies work online

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts, body sensations, and emotions without getting swept away. It teaches simple attention practices and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and support clearer choices when stress or strong feelings arise.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed actions toward them while learning to accept difficult inner experience. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns shape present-day connection and trust, and help people try new ways of relating to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying mindfulness exercises, value-based action steps from ACT, or gentle attention to relationship patterns from attachment work.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, shorter check-ins when needed, and fewer logistical barriers to reaching a therapist. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. The therapist will work with the person to choose modes and rhythms of sessions that suit everyday routines and therapy goals.
