About Jason
He uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client’s perspective central. That means sessions are collaborative and paced to match how someone prefers to work. He also blends cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors in practical ways.
Existential ideas and mindfulness practices are woven into his work to help people find meaning and calm. Motivational interviewing supports change when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. These methods are used together rather than as separate modules.
Jason has long experience with trauma-related concerns, including post-traumatic stress, and with mood and anxiety disorders. He also addresses substance use, grief, and life transitions, and offers support for issues such as guilt, shame, and isolation.
In sessions he favors clear goals, simple tools, and steady listening. He encourages people to try small, concrete steps between sessions and to notice what helps. The focus is on practical progress and on building skills that fit daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding where a person is coming from and adjusting the pace and tone of sessions to match their needs. It prioritizes listening and collaboration so people feel heard and empowered to set their own goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches tools to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression. It is practical and goal-oriented, often using simple exercises to test new ways of thinking.
Existential therapy invites conversations about meaning, values, and life direction. This can help people facing big transitions, grief, or questions about purpose alongside more symptom-focused work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to learn what matters most, then suggests techniques that match goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust the plan over time.
For online work, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, or let someone choose sessions that fit around work and family obligations.
