About Jason
Jason Gearheart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with 15 years of experience. He aims to help people who are struggling with addiction, trauma, depression, and low self-esteem. He welcomes straightforward conversations and practical steps toward feeling better.
Jason focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about painful history and current struggles. He listens for what matters most to each person and works with them to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions often look like honest conversation with guidance toward action.
His approach draws on familiar, evidence-informed methods, including Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means he helps people find their own reasons to change, pays attention to their experience, and looks at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.
He also addresses issues such as abandonment, communication problems, body image, and relationship concerns like infidelity and commitment worries. Jason supports people dealing with shame, guilt, isolation, hoarding, and other challenges that can feel overwhelming.
People who reach out will be asked about their goals and current situation so sessions fit their needs. The first step is often clarifying where change feels most important and choosing small, doable next steps. Jason’s style emphasizes respect, steady encouragement, and practical problem solving.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Jason blends Motivational Interviewing with Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make practical changes. Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding personal reasons to change and resolving mixed feelings about it, which can help with addictions and low motivation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering warm listening and empathy to help them feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers small skill-based steps to break unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches that match those needs. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or family life and fewer barriers to keeping regular sessions.
