About Jason

Jason Williamson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self esteem, and depression. He writes plainly and listens closely to each person's story. He wants to help people find clearer choices and feel more able to move forward.

Jason came to counseling after nearly 20 years in public service, including military and state roles. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. He has been a Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor since 2014 and became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2022. That mix of experience and education shaped his decision to work with people on substance use, mood, and trauma concerns.

In sessions he takes a holistic view and treats people as the experts on their own lives. He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and straightforward talk therapy to build coping skills and emotional balance.

Jason focuses on practical steps rather than jargon. He aims to help clients reduce worry, manage cravings, face painful memories, and rebuild self worth. He also supports people working through guilt, finding life purpose, and men's issues.

Outside of work he spends time with family and enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking, and skiing, plus riding his Harley for what he calls wind-therapy.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Many of the techniques Jason uses focus on thoughts, behaviors, and skills that transfer well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thinking and practice different responses, which can be done through guided conversation and at-home exercises. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that clients can learn and practice between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and reduced travel time, which can help fit sessions into a busy week. Online work can also make it simpler to continue therapy when life changes or when someone relocates within the same region.
