About Jason
Jason Stary is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Kansas with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and he lists life purpose among his focus areas. Jason also addresses concerns such as caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, control issues, isolation, and fatherhood questions.
He uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. Jason teaches Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) skills and incorporates cognitive behavioral strategies. He also draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods to help people describe what matters to them.
When faith is part of a person's background or goals, Jason can incorporate Christian faith perspectives if the client wants that included. He says he understands depression and anxiety from his own experience, and he aims to work with people on practical steps rather than abstract promises.
Jason has run group sessions weekly for an intensive outpatient program since 2022 while providing individual therapy since 2015. In sessions he focuses on concrete skills for managing difficult feelings, noticing values, and taking small actions that match a person's priorities.
People who feel stuck or unsure what comes next after work, relationship, or health changes may find sessions helpful for sorting priorities and learning tools to manage emotions. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they fit into daily life.
How therapeutic approaches guide remote sessions
Jason often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small actions that align with those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing behavior that reflects priorities rather than getting stuck in difficult feelings.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are practical tools for managing anger, anxiety, and overwhelming moments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool he uses to identify thinking patterns and try different behaviors that change mood over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jason will help clients pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. The process is collaborative: he introduces options, teaches skills, and adjusts methods based on what helps most.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, making shorter check-ins easier, and avoiding travel time. Discuss scheduling, session length, and any technical preferences when you set up the first appointment to make sessions fit your routine.
