More about Jonathan

  • 11 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMHC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience the last 3 of which have been with Better Help. I graduated with my Master’s of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stetson University on 2013. Since receiving my degree, I have worked with clients in their teens up to late adulthood. I have helped individual clients addressed a wide range of challenges, including but not limited to, depression, anxiety, anger management, career challenges, ADHD, Trauma, Domestic Violence, Addiction, Communication, Boundaries, Infidelity, grief, and loss. In addition to individual therapy, I have experience helping couples improve and work on relationship issues, communication and recover from infidelity. While I do not engage in couples counseling through Better Help, this experience can help me help individuals gain a greater understanding and perspective of what there partner may be experiencing or going through which can help create strategies to navigate relationship challenges. I have also helped families improve communication, address parenting problems and parent child relationships.

I take an eclectic approach to therapy drawing from various theoretical perspectives. This allows me to meet my clients where they are and work in collaboration with them to identify appropriate goals and objectives to work towards to allow them to overcome the challenges that may be holding them back from having their best life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He has become a huge part of my life. I joke that he is the best friend I pay for. He seriously understands my issues, helps me work on unpacking my garbage so to speak. Because of his help I've been able to forgive and move on. With his help I was able to rebuild a relationship with my father, whom I had not spoken to in close to 5 years. Im so grateful for his help, I'm not sure if I would still be here if not for his guidance. I recommend betterhelp and Jonathan whenever anyone asks me about therapy and who I talk to.

Working with Jeff changed my life. He understood me completely from day one, he understood my humor, he saw the shadow parts of me that I didn't even know existed. He held space for me in all of my loud, emotional, and too much parts. He grew to be a piece of stability in my changing world and I wouldn't be the woman I am today without him. If you're considering working with Jeff, I highly encourage you to end your search and start your transformation here.

I’m a former Law Enforcement Officer and I had basically given up on therapy after a few bad experiences with the department’s on staff counseling, and with their referrals. Fast forward a few years, I figured I would reach out and try to talk again. I came here to Betterhelp.com and was matched with Mr. Jonathan “Jeff” Stahl. Even from the first session I was extremely impressed with how willing he was to let me talk and figure out what type of platform I needed to feel comfortable. There was no sense of rush, no pushing, he wouldn’t interrupt needlessly. For the first time it truly felt like someone was really listening, and not waiting for their turn to speak. Even when I open up about the rough things I’ve seen in my former profession, Jeff always finds a personal experience that he can pull from to find common ground. It really makes me feel understood and not judged. I couldn’t be more thankful for this opportunity and for Jeff. Just knowing I have someone on my “team” like Jeff, makes a daily difference in my life.

Jeff is a surprising breath of fresh air. I have always been hesitant about therapy, and have tried in the past without feeling value from the experience.
