Jason Stary, LCPC

Jason Stary, LCPC, focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. He aims to help people connect with their values and make steady changes. He writes plainly and listens for what matters most to each person.

With ten years of clinical experience, Jason draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside acceptance and mindfulness skills. He also includes attachment and family systems perspectives when they fit a person's goals. Faith perspectives are available if a client wants to bring them into sessions.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Jason helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and practice skills between meetings. He uses short teaching moments, guided exercises, and regular check-ins to track progress.

He has led group work in an intensive outpatient setting and has provided individual support since 2015. That background informs how he structures sessions and runs skills groups.

Jason says he has personal experience with depression and anxiety, and he draws on that perspective when offering support. He seeks to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through struggles and test new ways of handling them.

People who connect well with a clear, collaborative approach tend to do well in his work. He practices in Kansas and meets with clients using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Remote approaches that teach skills and values

Jason blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that suit online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes; it can help with anxiety, depression, and anger by breaking problems into manageable steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them while clarifying personal values to guide action, which often helps when life feels overwhelming or purposeless.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration includes choosing skills to practice between sessions and adjusting plans as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and skill coaching possible between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping focus on learning useful skills.
