About Jason

Jason Jenkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of counseling experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions. Jason uses everyday language with clients and focuses on practical steps rather than clinical jargon.

He trained at Dallas Theological Seminary and holds a Master of Arts in Biblical and Professional Counseling. He also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, in his work. In sessions he listens for what causes the emotional spikes and looks for patterns that keep problems repeating.

Jason blends Client-Centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools. That means he helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that escalate anger or anxiety, and then practices different responses. He also draws on elements of existential therapy when people are sorting values and meaning after major life changes.

Practical skills are a focus. He teaches grounding techniques, emotion regulation skills, and communication strategies so people can respond differently when stress or resentment builds. He also works on forgiveness and repairing strained relationships when that is a client goal.

Sessions combine listening with hands-on exercises, short behavioral experiments, and between-session work when helpful. To start, he asks about current struggles, what has helped before, and what a reasonable next step looks like for the client.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person says to help them clarify goals and feelings. It works well when someone needs to sort through troubling thoughts or figure out the next practical step. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practices alternatives. It is useful for anger that shows up as repeated patterns at work or home. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation alongside memories to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and can help when past events continue to fuel strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision means methods can shift as progress is made or as new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can use skills practice, worksheets, and brief behavioral experiments in virtual sessions so practical work continues between meetings.
