About Jason
Jason Stary is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Kansas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He focuses on practical steps that fit daily life and supports fathers and men facing role and identity questions. Jason also addresses caregiver strain, communication and commitment problems, family-of-origin issues, shame, and loneliness.
Jason meets people where they are and works from their values and strengths. He uses clear, teachable skills from cognitive behavioral approaches and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He also draws on attachment ideas and client-centered listening to make sessions feel respectful and down-to-earth.
Over the last 10 years he has worked with adults and adolescents in individual therapy and has led group sessions in an intensive outpatient program since 2022. He brings personal experience with depression and anxiety to his work, which he says helps him relate to clients who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Sessions focus on concrete tools and on small, achievable steps toward goals. Clients can expect to learn coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Spiritual or faith perspectives may be included when a client wants them.
Jason aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly about what matters. He encourages practical change while honoring each person’s values and limits.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps in that direction despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and building concrete behavior changes; it is commonly used for stress, anger, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce intense reactions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean blending ACT skills with CBT techniques and attachment-based thinking over several sessions as goals evolve.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice new skills in the environments where they live and work. Licensed professionals, including therapists trained in the approaches above, will work with clients to choose a pace and structure that suit everyday life.
