Jason Rohacs, LMFT

Jason Rohacs is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and grief. He meets each person as an individual and focuses on what matters to them. He listens carefully and works to make sessions feel welcoming and straightforward.

He favors clear, practical approaches. Sessions often include short exercises and homework to try between meetings. Those tasks are tailored to a person’s situation and aim to build new skills over time.

Jason blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness in a way that fits the person in front of him. He also draws on solution-focused ideas to set achievable goals. Imago Relationship Therapy is used when relational patterns are part of the concern.

He pays close attention to attachment, communication, and the stresses that come from blended families or caregiving roles. Jason also addresses addiction concerns, control issues, guilt, and loneliness in a grounded, step-by-step way. His background supports work with panic, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress.

Sessions are offered from Illinois and conducted in English. Jason aims to help people feel heard and to find practical ways forward that match their values and daily life.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Jason commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on understanding each person’s perspective and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. Finally, Imago Relationship Therapy is applied when relationship patterns and communication are a focus, helping partners notice interaction habits and practice new ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He treats approach choice as collaborative and will adjust methods to fit the client’s goals and preferences. Together they set short-term goals and decide which techniques to try in sessions and between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets therapists and clients read facial cues and use visual tools. Phone sessions are lower bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat or text messaging works well for short check-ins, homework review, or brief coaching between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a hectic schedule.
