About Jason

Jason Scrivner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Alabama with 19 years of clinical experience and nearly 25 years working in human services. He helps people manage anger, recover from trauma and abuse, and build motivation and self‑esteem. Jason focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions.

He uses straightforward conversation to identify what triggers frustration and resentment. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and skills that get in the way of calmer responses. He draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to teach concrete tools for day‑to‑day life.

Jason offers help with addictions, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression alongside relationship and family problems. He also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, and challenges such as dissociation or eating concerns. His work includes coaching elements for motivation and commitment issues.

In sessions he encourages honest, direct talk about feelings and actions. He describes problems plainly and practices skills in real situations. That can mean learning brief breathing or grounding techniques, testing new ways to speak up, or trying behavioral experiments to change reactions.

He accepts international clients and holds sessions in English. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Online sessions can use ACT to clarify values and try small actions that reduce reactivity and silent resentment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep anger high. In remote appointments, CBT tasks often include short practice assignments and real‑time feedback on how strategies are working. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to calm the body and slow escalation. These exercises can be practiced during a session and repeated between appointments. Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. That means the plan can shift over a few sessions until it fits the client's needs and schedule. The biography does not state which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online meetings easier to fit into busy days, like taking a short session on a lunch break or joining from a quieter place. Other practical benefits include learning skills at home and doing real‑world practice between sessions. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to how a person lives and works, helping skills become part of everyday routines.
