About Jason

Jason Stary, LCPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He focuses on issues often affecting men, including fatherhood concerns, commitment struggles, and feelings of isolation. He aims to meet clients where they are and support practical steps toward clearer goals.

He uses straightforward, skills-based work drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-focused approaches. Sessions often include DBT and ACT skills practice when those fit a person's goals. Jason also brings attachment and family systems perspectives into conversations when they help make sense of current patterns.

His style is direct and collaborative. He listens for values and strengths, then helps people try small, doable changes. He describes therapy as a place to speak honestly about thoughts and feelings without judgment, and he encourages clients to notice what matters to them most.

Jason has worked in individual and group settings since 2015 and has led weekly groups in an intensive outpatient program since 2022. His personal experience with depression and anxiety informs how he supports people through similar struggles. He invites people to take steady steps toward a more fulfilling life while keeping their faith and personal values in view when desired.

Clients can expect clear tools, practice between sessions, and a focus on real-life changes that fit daily routines. He aims to help people move from feeling stuck toward greater purpose and connection.

Approach highlights and how online work can fit

Jason uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take values-based actions, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes that improve day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. He will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean spending more time on skill practice, values work, or tracking patterns that keep problems going.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and offering more flexibility for scheduling. It also supports continuity of care when people move or have changing work hours. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm the available online options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or another format suits your needs. The focus remains the same: practical skills, steady progress, and ways to apply what you learn between meetings.
