About Jason

Jason Scrivner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 19 years of clinical experience and a long history in human services. He focuses on common and overwhelming problems like stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, and shifts in self-esteem. He aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and respectful of that first step.

He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard feelings. Sessions center on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. He listens for patterns that get in the way and helps clients find small changes that make daily life easier.

His work draws on a mix of approaches. He uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live according to their values. Cognitive behavioral methods are used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change.

He also uses client-centered and mindfulness practices to slow things down and build self-awareness. These approaches often help with grief, relationship strain, and major life transitions. He supports people coping with ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue among other concerns.

Jason works from Alabama and communicates in English. He has experience with a wide range of issues including family problems, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care, and substance use. If you are ready to explore next steps, he encourages you to begin the matching process and schedule a session.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their values. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected; the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed insight and growth.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting over time based on what helps most.

The practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into everyday life. Many people find it easier to schedule meetings around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities. If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular check-ins, practice homework between sessions, and maintain progress without long travel times.
