About Jaisen

Jaisen Thomas is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in New Jersey and Texas with four years of clinical counseling experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, addiction, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, mood disorders and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship concerns and Internal Family Systems where it fits the issue. In session he breaks problems into clear, manageable parts and practices new responses together.

His approach is straightforward and skills-focused. Clients learn specific tools to manage intense emotions, reduce avoidance, and change patterns that keep problems active. Homework and brief experiments are common so progress can be measured across sessions.

Jaisen has nearly two decades of pastoral counseling experience in addition to his licensed practice. That background informs how he talks about values, meaning, and roles people hold in their lives without introducing religious material unless the client wants it.

People often come for short-term work on a problem or for longer support when difficulty is more complex. He helps set clear goals and checks progress regularly, adjusting methods if a strategy isn’t working.

How CBT and skills work in online sessions

Jaisen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses in everyday life; this approach breaks problems into small, concrete steps and teaches techniques for stress and mood management. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that are practical when emotions feel overwhelming. The Gottman Method is applied for relationship work, focusing on communication patterns and specific interaction skills that partners can practice.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to identify goals, try an approach, and adjust methods if needed. Sessions include skill practice and short between-session exercises to track what helps most for the client's goals.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into workdays, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people join from a quieter setting when that is helpful. Talk with him during the matching process about which session length and rhythm will fit your life.
