About Jason

Jason Stary is a Kansas Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. He also addresses concerns such as caregiver stress, commitment issues, communication problems, control struggles, and fatherhood challenges.

Jason draws from cognitive behavioral approaches and teaches skills from dialectical behavior therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He brings attachment and family systems ideas into conversations when they matter. He also offers faith-informed perspectives at a client’s request.

Sessions focus on practical skills and straightforward conversation. Clients can expect to practice techniques to manage strong emotions, handle conflict, and reshape unhelpful patterns of thinking. He guides people through steps they can use between sessions to reduce reactivity and build clarity about values.

Jason has experience running groups in an intensive outpatient setting in addition to individual work. He is open about having lived with depression and anxiety himself, and he uses that perspective to normalize difficult feelings and discuss realistic steps forward. He emphasizes clear goals and teaching tools that people can apply in daily life.

People who come for help often want fewer outbursts, less rumination, and better communication. Jason works with each person to learn skills, notice patterns that fuel anger, and practice alternative responses that fit their life.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when hard thoughts and feelings are present. It helps people who feel stuck or who want to reduce avoidance and live by their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and patterns that lead to anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jason will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. He often combines skills from ACT, CBT, and DBT depending on what a person wants to practice and how they respond.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed in this profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for focused check-ins during a work break or between appointments. Different formats tend to suit different needs - for example, shorter phone check-ins can work when bandwidth is limited, while video sessions help with conversational and skills practice that benefit from visual cues. Licensed professionals generally adapt exercises so people can practice coping skills at home and in daily routines.
