About Jason
Jason Stary is a Kansas LCPC with ten years of clinical experience working with adults and adolescents. He helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. He also addresses related concerns such as caregiver stress, communication and control issues, fatherhood questions, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Jason works in straightforward, skills-based ways. He uses cognitive-behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns of behavior. He teaches practical DBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy skills to manage strong emotions and stay focused on personal values.
Attachment and family systems ideas shape how he thinks about relationships and old patterns that keep repeating. He will draw on those perspectives to help people understand how past relationships influence current reactions. He can include Christian faith perspectives when clients want that element present.
Sessions focus on learning and practicing concrete skills, setting clear goals, and trying small changes between meetings. Jason also shares from personal experience with depression and anxiety when it helps normalize the work and suggest realistic next steps.
He aims to create an environment where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. People who want clear tools for handling anger and daily stress may find his approach practical and direct.
How his approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that fit a person's values. It can help when anger or worry pulls attention away from what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives straightforward techniques to change unhelpful patterns and reduce reactivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that are useful when temper flares or frustration builds.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jason will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That means trying skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day - shorter check-ins can fit a work break, and sessions by phone can use less bandwidth. Many people find practicing ACT, CBT, and DBT skills between online meetings fits well with daily life and makes learning practical skills more manageable.
