Jonathan Sonnenblick

Plano, TX
Clinical Social Work/therapist, LCSW
Jonathan Sonnenblick is a skilled clinical social worker and therapist who understands that many individuals experience anxiety and depression.

What if changing one's relationship to pain from fear to acceptance was the key? Utilizing a bold, evidence-based therapy known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Jonathan empowers clients to connect with their thoughts and emotions, stay present in the moment, and engage in actions that align with their core values. He is honored to assist individuals in navigating their personal struggles and commends those who display the courage to reach out for support.
