Background and approach
He has worked with substance use concerns and broadened his focus to mood, trauma, and self-esteem issues over time. In sessions he uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and conversational talk therapy. That means he helps people notice thoughts and behaviors, try different responses, and practice new skills between meetings.
He keeps explanations clear and gives concrete tools rather than only theory. His approach is holistic - looking at patterns across work, relationships, habits, and goals. He pays attention to feelings like guilt and shame and helps people reconnect with a sense of purpose.
He also addresses concerns commonly faced by men and by those with military backgrounds. Outside of work he spends time with family and enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and riding his Harley. Those interests shape a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.
How his approaches translate to online care
Jason primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. That method helps with anxiety, depression, mood problems, and many stress-related concerns by teaching practical skills to change how someone thinks and acts.He also integrates Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills, which focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those techniques can be useful when strong emotions or recurring behavior patterns get in the way of daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then suggest a plan to try. Adjustments are made as needed so sessions stay focused and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction and fuller conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or mobility is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or quick support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity of care when schedules change.
