About Jason
Jason Stary is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas with ten years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on issues like fatherhood, caregiver stress, communication problems, and family of origin issues.
He uses practical, skills-based tools in sessions. That includes cognitive behavioral approaches and techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Attachment and family systems ideas appear when they help make sense of patterns people bring from their upbringing.
Sessions tend to focus on clarifying values, learning specific coping skills, and practicing new behaviors between meetings. He integrates a client-centered stance, meaning the person’s goals guide what comes next. He can include Christian faith perspectives when a client wants that to be part of the work.
Jason speaks from both professional and personal experience; he has managed his own depression and anxiety and draws on that understanding in session. He also has experience leading groups in an intensive outpatient program setting since 2022, alongside individual work since 2015.
People often come for help untangling how family roles and expectations still affect their choices. In sessions he looks at those patterns, teaches concrete skills for managing emotions and behavior, and helps people try new ways of relating to others and themselves.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It can help people who want to live more in line with what matters to them despite anxiety or low mood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants concrete strategies they can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and test techniques to see what helps most. That collaborative process can include mixing ACT, CBT, DBT skills, attachment ideas, or client-centered methods depending on what fits.
If you plan to meet remotely, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what’s offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and let people use methods like guided mindfulness or behavioral assignments from home. Practical details about scheduling and the subscription model should be checked during the sign-up steps.
