About Jason

Jason Scrivner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Alabama with 19 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage trauma and abuse, anger, motivation, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Jason also addresses anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, bipolar disorder, and related concerns.

He uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Jason draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on small changes a person can try between meetings.

Jason aims to make conversations direct and usable. He listens for patterns in thinking and behavior and suggests concrete exercises to test different responses. Work might include challenging negative thoughts, building routine skills, or practicing brief mindfulness and grounding techniques.

His background spans nearly two decades in clinical social work and longer in human services roles. That experience informs problem-solving around relationship issues, family stress, caregiving strain, adoption and foster care concerns, and substance related difficulties.

When people are unsure where to start, Jason helps set clear, short-term goals and tracks progress in simple steps. He recommends practical tools for calming anxiety, managing anger, and handling life transitions. People who want direct, structured work that focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors may find this approach fits their needs.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Jason uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and goal-focused and can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and routine habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that matter. ACT can help when people feel stuck or overwhelmed by strong emotions.

He also uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what a person says, which helps build clear goals and prioritize what to work on. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what is most useful for the person’s needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in everyday settings and to continue regular work when life changes make in-person visits difficult.
