About Jared

Jared Fuson offers practical support for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life changes. He writes plainly and focuses on helping clients find steps they can use right away. Jared is a licensed counselor with more than a decade of hands-on clinical work.

He practices in Tennessee and provides sessions in English. Jared earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in therapy. He began counseling in 2012 and later completed the LPC-MHSP credential in 2020.

Background and approach

His licenses include LPCC and LPC credentials in Ohio and Tennessee, which reflect years of supervised clinical practice. Early in his career he led intensive outpatient substance abuse groups, provided individual counseling, and supervised Department of Children’s Services visits. Those roles shaped his skills in working with addiction and recovery.

He later moved into correctional mental health and focused on diagnostics, assessment, and treatment planning for a wide range of conditions. In sessions he uses practical, evidence-based methods. He favors approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts, build skills for emotion regulation, and clarify personal values.

Jared aims for straightforward conversation and concrete tools rather than long theory talks. People can connect with him through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. He notes that subscription-based sessions are used and can be canceled at any time.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful when worry, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client's goals and preferences, explain different methods, and together decide which tools to try first. Adjustments happen along the way based on what is helpful and what is not.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between meetings. Jared uses these formats to deliver skills training, check-ins, and guided conversations so progress can keep moving forward even when meeting remotely.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
