About Jared
Jared Fuson is a licensed counselor who focuses on men's wellbeing and common life stresses. He brings a straightforward, practical style to sessions. He aims to help people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the fallout from addiction and trauma.
Jared holds a Master’s degree in therapy and a bachelor’s degree in psychology. He is licensed in Tennessee as an LPC-MHSP and also holds LPCC credentialing in Ohio. He has about 12 years of clinical experience working in multiple care settings.
Early in his career he ran intensive outpatient substance-abuse groups, provided one-on-one counseling, and supervised visits for child welfare services. That work involved hands-on group and individual support for people facing addiction and co-occurring concerns.
More recently he has worked full time in correctional mental health, where he developed diagnostic and assessment skills. He gained experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, psychosis, and trauma while also addressing substance use and complex presentations.
In sessions Jared uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and motivational interviewing. He prefers clear goals and active collaboration, helping people build skills they can use between meetings. He welcomes conversations about fatherhood, first responder stress, veteran issues, and men’s concerns as part of broader wellbeing work.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small, values-based actions despite difficult feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical coping skills for panic, mood challenges, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own motivation to change behaviors like substance use or to engage in treatment.Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and adapt methods from these approaches to fit what you need. You and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and when to change course.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief touchpoint is helpful. It also supports consistent skill practice between meetings and straightforward follow-ups without requiring an in-person visit.
