About Jared
Jared Nelson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada with four years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and related concerns. Jared also supports people navigating sexuality and gender questions, including gender dysphoria and LGBTQ+ topics.
He trained at Arizona State University where he completed his Master of Social Work and studied anthropology and psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno. His background includes work in acute rehab, inpatient behavioral hospitals, civil and forensic units, and outpatient clinics. That range gives him exposure to both short-term crisis care and longer-term support.
In sessions he draws on practical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. He uses these methods to help people notice patterns, weigh options, and try new responses to stress or urges. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and real-life strategies rather than abstract theory.
Jared also addresses sexual and relationship concerns, including porn and internet-related addictions, sexual dysfunction, and issues tied to HIV/AIDS. He describes work with men’s issues and young adults among his focused areas. He frames problems in terms of behaviors and choices people can change over time.
People can expect straightforward, goal-oriented conversations that link what happens in session to daily life. Jared asks about history and current routines, then practices techniques that can be used between meetings. He offers help with coping skills, relapse prevention, and managing anger when it shows up at home or work.
How Jared’s approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people notice thoughts, test them, and try new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and mood. Mindfulness therapy focuses on steadying attention and noticing sensations or emotions without acting on them, which can help with stress and impulse control. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, conversational method that helps people weigh pros and cons and build motivation for change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they pick methods to try and adjust them over time based on what proves useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice skills between meetings in their usual routines, which can speed up applying new responses to anger and cravings.
