About Jason

Jason Wright is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 26 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes. He also helps people who are concerned about career direction and life purpose.

Clients can expect a focus on listening first, then practical approaches to address problems. He uses client-centered techniques alongside cognitive behavioral tools to help people manage symptoms and take steps forward. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used to build small, achievable changes.

His background includes work with trauma-related conditions and mood disorders. He has published an article about psychogenic seizures and has long experience with substance use issues and obsessive-compulsive concerns. That history informs a steady, pragmatic approach to symptoms and daily functioning.

Sessions concentrate on clear goals and concrete skills. He draws on existential ideas when people are wrestling with meaning, emptiness, or life purpose. Mindfulness-based practices are offered as tools for emotion regulation and grounding.

People who choose him typically want practical help sorting out what comes next after a big change. The style is conversational and collaborative, with attention to both immediate coping and longer-term direction.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy places the person at the center of sessions. It emphasizes listening and responding to each person's priorities, and it helps when someone needs to sort out feelings or make decisions about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills. It looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and teaches tools for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and compulsive actions.

Existential therapy addresses questions of meaning, emptiness, and life purpose. It supports people who are reassessing work, relationships, or identity after a major change.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

The original profile does not specify exact online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also permits sessions when someone is juggling work, caregiving, or health demands, while keeping the focus on skill practice and problem solving.
