He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session. In sessions Jared helps people sort through difficult feelings and make manageable changes.

Background and approach

He uses straightforward conversation to identify goals and build coping skills. He also addresses intimacy-related concerns, grief, and trauma when those issues come up. Jared has worked with clients on concerns tied to identity, including LGBT-related issues, and on challenges like body image, eating and food-related issues, and chronic illness.

He also supports people dealing with communication problems, forgiveness, and complex family history topics. His credential, LPC-MHSP, indicates licensure in Tennessee as a licensed professional counselor with mental health service provider status. Jared offers a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Jared aims to make the first steps simple and direct so people can get to the work they want to do.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jared uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping skills. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, activity planning, and step-by-step behavior changes. This style is useful when feeling overwhelmed or stuck in repetitive negative patterns.

He also draws on trauma-informed methods that emphasize safety, pacing, and building tolerance for difficult memories and emotions. These methods help when past hurt or abuse affects current relationships and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jared will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they choose strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, family, or health concerns. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing tracking between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity when circumstances change.
