Jason Stary, LCPC

Jason Stary is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He aims to meet clients where they are and build on their values and strengths. He frames therapy around practical skills and clear goals so people can move toward a more fulfilling life.

He has provided individual and adolescent therapy since 2015 and has led group sessions weekly as part of an intensive outpatient program since 2022. He draws on cognitive-behavioral tools and solution-focused ideas to address current problems. He also teaches skills from dialectical behavior therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Attachment ideas and family systems perspectives are used when helpful to someone’s goals. He will include Christian faith perspectives when a client wants that included. Sessions emphasize an open, nonjudgmental space for talking about thoughts and feelings.

Jason speaks from personal experience with depression and anxiety and describes that perspective as part of his work. He aims to help people recognize small steps they can take and to support them through setbacks.

His approach is collaborative and practical. He works with each person to set realistic goals and to practice skills between sessions. People can expect straightforward feedback, skill-building, and encouragement to try new ways of coping.

Approaches that guide online work and skill practice

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and helping them take action in line with those values. It uses mindfulness and committed action to reduce the hold of unhelpful thoughts and move toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit best for their needs and goals. That decision can shift over time as new challenges or priorities emerge.

Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try skill practice in real-life settings and bring examples from everyday life into sessions. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus so therapy fits into daily routines while addressing issues like jealousy, communication problems, and coping with life changes.
