He encourages testing new behaviors and noticing what works. His own experience with depression and anxiety informs a compassionate approach. Jason is licensed in Kansas as an LCPC and offers help in English.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to coexist with difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and decisions about life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change patterns that maintain stress or depression. It often includes practical exercises and behavior experiments between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills can help when feelings feel overwhelming or when impulsive reactions create problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jason will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life, adjusting techniques as progress is made. The process is interactive and tailored, not one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow therapy to fit around work, family, and travel. Video sessions are good when nonverbal cues matter, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and messaging supports shorter updates or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to keep continuity while trying out new skills.
