About Jason
Jason Stary is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) practicing in Kansas with ten years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, control issues, fatherhood concerns, and men's issues.
He uses straightforward, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions often include practical exercises and skill practice drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques. He also teaches skills from dialectical behavior therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with emotion regulation and values-based action.
Jason integrates attachment and family systems ideas when those perspectives help make sense of relationship patterns. He is open to exploring Christian faith perspectives when a client wants that included. He emphasizes clear goals and active work between sessions rather than long, purely talk-based meetings.
He has worked in outpatient settings and has led group sessions for an intensive outpatient program since 2022. That experience contributes to a focus on concrete skills and measurable change over time. Jason also speaks from lived experience with depression and anxiety, which he sometimes references when it helps clients feel understood.
Sessions are conducted in English and are aimed at adults and adolescents. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before scheduling, and can begin by completing the site's matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Jason uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that increase stress and to practice small behavior changes that reduce symptoms. CBT sessions focus on clear, step-by-step skill building and homework to try between meetings.He also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. ACT can be useful for clients struggling with meaning, emptiness, or shifting life goals.
Attachment-based ideas are used to understand relationship patterns and how past bonds affect current reactions. These concepts can guide conversations about communication, control issues, and family of origin concerns.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and previous experience and together decide which techniques to prioritize. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked over time.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, video sessions when visual cues help, or phone sessions when bandwidth is limited. These practical options can reduce travel and make regular skill practice more manageable.
