He writes plainly and focuses on practical steps so clients can make steady progress. Jared’s approach is goal-oriented and direct, while remaining respectful and down-to-earth.

He has twelve years of clinical experience and holds the LPC-MHSP and LPCC credentials.

More recently he has worked full time in correctional mental health, where he developed skills in assessments and diagnostics. That role exposed him to a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, psychosis, and trauma, and deepened his experience with substance use concerns.

In sessions Jared uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. He focuses on clear goals, skill work, and real-world changes clients can try between meetings.

People who connect with Jared tend to be looking for straightforward guidance on coping, communication, and behavior change. He also has experience related to first responder and veteran and armed forces issues. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

Using therapy approaches that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help when worry or low mood make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete coping skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal communication, which can be useful for anger, relationship issues, and mood instability.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach first and shifting focus as progress is made.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also offers flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or variable schedules. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Jared, can adapt therapeutic tools to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
