About Jonathan
Jonathan "David" Teague is an Arkansas licensed professional counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and related life challenges. Jonathan focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier and more able to manage daily pressures.
He often helps people untangle work and relationship stress so they can make clearer choices. That can mean talking through how thoughts and reactions shape behavior, and practicing small changes that build momentum. He also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, and problems around intimacy and trust.
Jonathan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and emphasizes straightforward conversation and skills practice. Sessions typically involve setting clear goals, trying out new coping strategies, and reviewing what worked or didn’t between meetings. He aims to create an environment where clients can speak honestly without judgement.
He has additional experience with issues such as family of origin conflicts, fatherhood challenges, first responder stress, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and loneliness. He also works with people facing divorce, separation, or the aftereffects of natural and human-caused disasters.
Sessions are conducted in English and Jonathan practices in Arkansas. People who sign up follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to get started.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Jonathan works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. Cognitive-style approaches look at how thoughts influence mood and behavior; they help with anxiety, low mood, and motivation by teaching ways to test and reframe unhelpful thinking. Skill-focused behavioral work involves practicing small changes in daily routines and reactions to reduce anger, manage impulses, and support recovery from substance problems.Another common thread is coping skills training, which teaches concrete tools people can use when stress or cravings spike. These tools include brief grounding strategies, paced breathing, and step-by-step plans for difficult conversations or relapse prevention. They are taught in sessions and rehearsed between meetings so clients build confidence over time.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Jonathan will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means reviewing what helps, adjusting plans, and learning new skills together rather than following a fixed protocol.
If you want to meet online, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier, let sessions fit around school or work, and remove travel time. Some formats suit shorter check-ins while others allow fuller conversations; discuss the practical setup when you schedule your first appointment.
