    About Jason

    Jason Stary, LCPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem. He also supports those coping with major life changes and challenges related to fatherhood, caregiver strain, and isolation. He meets people where they are and aims to help them move toward clearer values and practical goals.

    He draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach skills for managing difficult thoughts and feelings. Motivational Interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons to change and to build momentum for that change. Attachment ideas and family systems inform how he looks at relationship patterns that might keep people stuck.

    Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He focuses on learning skills, practicing them, and adjusting plans based on what actually works for each person. Religion or faith is included when a person wants it woven into sessions.

    Jason has worked in clinical settings since 2015 and has led group sessions for an intensive outpatient program since 2022. He shares from his own experience with depression and anxiety to normalize the struggle and to encourage hope.

    People who choose him can expect straightforward talk, skill practice, and support in taking concrete steps. He aims to help people reconnect with what matters to them and build routines that fit daily life.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Jason blends Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit many people’s lives. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person find their own reasons to change and build momentum. It suits people who feel stuck or uncertain about taking the next step. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches how to notice difficult thoughts and still move toward meaningful values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jason will work together with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions start with an assessment of what a person wants to change, then adjust method and pace based on progress and feedback.

    Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten commute time, and allow for quicker check-ins between in-person appointments. It also allows practicing new skills in everyday settings and bringing real-life situations into conversation so plans can be adapted to actual routines.
