   About Jared

   Jared Fuson is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship strain. He brings a direct, practical style and aims to make changes feel doable for busy lives. Jared presents himself plainly and focuses on what a person wants to change most.

   He holds a Master’s degree in therapy and a bachelor’s in psychology. Jared is licensed in Tennessee as an LPCC and in Ohio as an LPC-MHSP, with a total of 12 years of clinical experience. Early in his career he worked in community mental health running intensive outpatient substance abuse groups and providing individual therapy.

   Later he moved into correctional mental health where he developed diagnostics and assessment skills. That role expanded his work with substance use, mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, and psychosis. Those experiences shaped his practical approach to treatment planning.

   Jared draws on several evidence-based approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. He uses these tools to help people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and stay motivated through setbacks.

   Sessions focus on clear steps and concrete skills rather than jargon. Jared aims to create a straightforward plan each person can try between meetings. He invites people to talk about what matters most and to move forward at a pace that fits their life.

2. How these approaches translate to online therapy

   Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build momentum and reduce resistance, which can be helpful for addictions, ambivalence, and behavior change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and to commit to actions that match their values; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can suit mood and anxiety concerns.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback come in.
   
   The source biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these methods over distance to practice skills, set goals, and maintain momentum between meetings.
