Background and approach
Early work included community mental health and intensive outpatient substance use groups. Over time Jared moved into correctional mental health, where he sharpened assessment and diagnostic skills. That role involved individual therapy, substance abuse treatment, and work with depression, anxiety, trauma, and psychosis.
Those settings gave him experience addressing co-occurring issues and complex presentations. In sessions Jared draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. He focuses on clear skills for coping, managing emotions, and improving communication.
Sessions emphasize small, doable changes that fit day-to-day life. People who turn to Jared often want concrete tools and steady guidance through difficult changes. He is based in Tennessee and offers services using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
Jared aims to work collaboratively to set practical goals and track progress over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters. It teaches simple practices to build psychological flexibility and handle painful feelings without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and managing mood shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean using ACT skills one week and CBT exercises the next, or weaving in motivational interviewing when change feels difficult.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and texting let people check in between sessions or use brief, focused support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.
