About Jared
He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in therapy, and he holds the credentials LPCC, LPC-MHSP, and LPC. Jared began counseling in 2012 and has about 12 years of hands-on clinical work. Early in his career he ran intensive outpatient substance abuse groups and provided individual therapy and supervised visits with child welfare agencies.
More recently he has worked full time in correctional mental health. There he developed diagnostic and assessment skills and treated a range of issues including depression, anxiety, psychosis, trauma, and substance use. That experience sharpened his ability to manage co-occurring concerns and complex presentations.
In sessions he uses clear, goal-oriented methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered approaches. He focuses on practical strategies people can use between visits to manage mood, reduce stress, and improve day-to-day functioning.
Jared invites people to explore workable steps forward and to set realistic goals together. He encourages open conversation about what is most pressing and what change would feel meaningful in everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters to them. It focuses on values and small steps that break rigid patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jared will discuss which methods fit your goals and preferences and adjust plans as you try techniques together. The work is collaborative - you and the therapist decide what feels useful and change the focus when needed.

Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time.
