Jonah Friedman, LPC

I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) offering therapy for adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and meaningful personal growth.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. My goal is to make the process feel approachable, collaborative, and actually helpful in your day-to-day life.

I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity-related concerns. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, self-doubt, or uncertainty about what comes next. Together, we focus on building insight, developing practical tools, and creating meaningful change that feels sustainable.

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and conversational. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with relational and insight-oriented work, which means we’ll look at both what’s happening right now and the patterns that may be underlying it. I aim to meet you where you are while also gently challenging you when it’s helpful. I also have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and provide affirming, supportive care around identity, relationships, and personal growth.

Therapy with me is not about being perfect or having everything figured out. It’s about creating a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and start moving toward the kind of life you want to be living. I offer virtual therapy for clients across New Jersey and provide free consultations to help you determine if we’re a good fit.
